This happens because cint can only output string of only 1024 length.
ANSI C standard requests printf to output , at least , 512 characters.
In this sense, cint conforms to the standard. Of course it is nicer to
allow unlimited length of string which is not too difficult. For now,
I modified cint to display warning message for this.
I recommend doing it as follows.
fprintf(fp,"@echo %d \n@echo ",i);
fputs(buffer,fp);
fputc('\n',fp);
Valery requested a list of cint limit numbers. I hope following list helps.
Length of string for printf 1024 G__LONGLINE
Number of function arguments 40 G__MAXFUNCPARA
Maximum number of input files 500 G__MAXFILE
Maximum filename length 256 G__MAXFILENAME
Maximum array dimention 10 G__MAXVARDIM
Maximum number of base classes 30 G__MAXBASE
Maximum depth of class and namespace scope nesting 20 G__TAGNEST
Maximum number of class/struct/enum/namespace/union 1600 G__MAXSTRUCT
Maximum number of typedef 1000 G__MAXTYPEDEF
Maximum length of C/C++ statement 1024 G__LONGLINE
Maximum number of scanf arguments 12
