Learning from your own stupidities

November 15, 2006

Today I learned something that I never considered before: I didn't realize (until today) that the maximum command line length for the CreateProcess Win32 API function is 32767 characters (pszCmdLine parameter). I'm not going to tell you how I figured this out (actually I figured it out the hard way, but I don't want to end up as the next subject on The Daily WTF). You can read more about it here and you can find a solution for it here.

So kids, be warned and don't try this at home ;-).

If you and your team want to learn more about how to write maintainable unit tests and get the most out of TDD practices, make sure to have look at our trainings and workshops or check out the books section. Feel free to reach out at infonull@nullprincipal-itnull.be.
