[Tfug] C Compiler string limitations?

Hi,
I'm curious if anyone has had any experiences with
compilers choking on long strings/byte arrays.
I have some data structures that look like:
"..." ## "..." ## "..." (etc)
and, in the interest of portability, would hope that
few compilers would gag on them.
I can, alternatively, rewuite them as char[] but
that's a bit more processing in my scripts
(the structures are built automatically).
I know GCC uses a crapload of VM when processing
large arrays but, with enough swap, that's not
an issue. I'm just wondering if other toolchains
simply crash-and-burn in these cases...
Thanks!
