Try this one, DFS:

 Here, I get:
 _[/nfs/ds/src/vallor/path_max]_(vallor@lm)🐧_
$ make
tcc -g -O2 -std=c90 -Wall -Werror -pedantic    query_PATH_MAX.c   -o query_PATH_MAX

$ ./query_PATH_MAX
4096
 If you use tcc, I know the answer you'll get on Windows:
 $ ./a.out
259
 Ouch!  "Here's a nickel, kid..."

Surely you know NTFS supports file paths up to 32,767 characters?
Fortunately, I NEVER run into 'your app software sux' issues.  To experience those, just boot a GuhNoo hobbyware distro and run thunar or LibreOffice.
