<spk121>the maximum array size and max array size per dimension should probably have predefined limits. In Guile's code, sometimes it is effectively SSIZE_MAX and in other places it is effectively SIZE_MAX.
<spk121>but you'd need a lot of RAM before that difference matters. ;-)
<lloda>hmm could be a bug
<lloda>i mean sounds like a bug
<lloda>technically you can have big sizes for some dimensions and use no memory as long as at least 1 other dimension has size 0
<rlb>We also use a magic (size_t) -1 in the public C api. Offhand I think I wish we hadn't. i.e. perhaps stick to string and stringn variants, and don't make -1 magic for stringn (too)...
