 # Compiler Limits
 
 The C++ standard recommends limits for various language constructs. The following is a list of cases where the Microsoft C++ compiler does not implement the recommended limits. The first number is the limit that is established in the ISO C++ 11 standard (INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882-2011[2012], Annex B) and the second number is the limit implemented by the Microsoft C++ compiler:
 
 - Nesting levels of compound statements, iteration control structures, and selection control structures - C++ standard: 256, Microsoft C++ compiler: depends on the combination of statements that are nested, but generally between 100 and 110.
 
-- Parameters in one macro definition - C++ standard: 256, Microsoft C++ compiler: 127.
+- Parameters in one macro definition - C++ standard: 256, Microsoft C++ compiler using `/Zc:preprocessor-`:127 or using `/Zc:preprocessor`:32767.
 
-- Arguments in one macro invocation - C++ standard: 256, Microsoft C++ compiler 127.
+- Arguments in one macro invocation - C++ standard: 256, Microsoft C++ compiler using `/Zc:preprocessor-`:127 or using `/Zc:preprocessor`:32767.
 
 - Characters in a character string literal or wide string literal (after concatenation) - C++ standard: 65536, Microsoft C++ compiler: 65535 single-byte characters, including the NULL terminator, and 32767 double-byte characters, including the NULL terminator.
