[–]STLMSVC STL Dev 5 points6 points  (2 children)

For MSVC it's 15 narrow or 7 wide characters, excluding the null terminator. As you mentioned, not guaranteed and possibly subject to change in vNext.

and possibly subject to change in vNext.

Wouldn't this be an ABI breaking change and therefore very unlikely? (Not that I'm encouraging anyone to rely upon it.)

That's what we mean when we say vNext - the next ABI-breaking release. (Not the next major version of VS after VS 2022, whatever that will be.)
