C / C ++ management structure limitations?

Question

I heard about the limitation in VC ++ (not sure which version) about the number of nested operators if(somewhere in the stadium 300). The code was of the form:

if (a) ...
else if (b) ...
else if (c) ...
...

I was surprised to learn that there is a limit to this kind of thing and that the limit is so small. I am not looking for comments about coding practice and why to avoid it at all.

Here is a list of things that I could imagine could :

• The number of functions in the scope (global, class, or namespace).
• The number of expressions in a single expression (for example, compound legend).
• The number of cases in the switch.
• The number of parameters for the function.
• The number of classes in one hierarchy (either inheritance or containment).

/ ? (, )? - , , /?

EDIT: , if "". :

if (a) { //...
}
else {
    if (b) { //...
    }
    else {
        if (c) { //...
        }
        else { //...
        }
    }
}

The compiler cares a great deal about scope.
