Re: [Jython-users] 64 K limit?

[Attila S. <sze...@fr...>]

It's a Java limitation - to speak precisely, the classfile specification
(part of JVM spec) says that the code attribute of a single method can have
at most 65535 bytes since certain other bits of data that refer to locations
inside a method code, as well as the code size field are unsigned 16-bit
integers.

Thanks for the reply on this. I was surprised to learn about this - it
reminds me of the 64K limit on Intel 8086 memory blocks, but that's just
nostalgia speaking. Considering how few people this impacts, I'm not
planning to take any action. -Frank
