Maximum Method Name Length

by

For C# I don’t believe there’s a specified hard limit. (Section 2.4.2 of the C# 5 spec doesn’t give a limit, for example.) Roslyn v2.2.0.61624 seems to have a limit of 1024 characters; this is way beyond the bounds of readability and even a sensible machine-generated name.

For Java, section 3.8 of the spec states:

An identifier is an unlimited-length
sequence of Java letters and Java
digits, the first of which must be a
Java letter.
