How many characters can fit into a C ++ string?

Question

I need to save a variable kbs or even mbs of plain text, so I want to know how many characters can fit in a standard string (aka std :: string plus a string library).

Thank.

Answer 1

std::stringhas a member function max_size()that returns the maximum length std::stringin this implementation.

Answer 2

It depends on your implementation. Try calling std :: string :: max_size () and find out.
