What a curious question!  Have you been using other compilers, say, 16-bit
compilers recently?

As far as I know, gcc will allow you to create an array up to probably the
maximum address space on a 32-bit processor.  I've made arrays that are 64
or so megabytes of structs, and I assume one can go beyond that...

If you're asking about the maximum elements in an array, that's also
probabably going to be about 2.147 billion.

I suggest you don't worry about this, unless you start to have problems.

Edmund.
