long function name

[Kornel]

Hey,
I know it's not that urgent and as a matter of fact only a theoretical
problem, but still..
g++ crashes for a very long function name ;)

consider this perl program to generate such a stupid-evil source file:

a.pl:
#v+

my $name = "a"x(1024*1024*8);

open( FD, "> test.cpp" ) or die "ohmygawd";

print FD <<EOF

#include <iostream>

void $name(){
        std::cout << "cheers\\n";
}

int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
        $name();
        return 0;
}

EOF
;

print "Compiling..\n";

system "g++ -c test.cpp -o test -Wall -ansi";

#v-

outpus:
Compiling..
g++: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1plus)

On my system it crashes for 8*1024*1024 chars. I guess this number is
very depended on the actual pc configuration.

 $ g++ -v

I know it's stupid but java for instance does not simply allow longer
names than 65535 (iirc).
