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.
