I've opened a text file in Visual Studio 2010, with size 500 MB (8 million line) and read it without problems.

But when I tried to open another file with size 54 MB (2.5 million line), its failed and give a stack overflow exception!

Why this although file 2 is smaller? EDIT:

void main()
{
   string line;
   ifstream inputfile1;
   inputfile1.open("file1.txt");

   while(!inputfile1.eof())
   {
       getline(inputfile1,line);
   }
}

Please clarify what it is you're doing. Are you starting Visual Studio, then going to the main menu and opening a file? – PaulMcKenzie Nov 25 '17 at 14:05
@PaulMcKenzie I've edited the question for clarity – userInThisWorld Nov 25 '17 at 14:09

`!inputfile1.eof()` -- [Please read this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5605125/why-is-iostreameof-inside-a-loop-condition-considered-wrong) – PaulMcKenzie Nov 25 '17 at 14:13
@PaulMcKenzie thanks, but the exception happened when executing the statement ifstream inputfile1 during debugging, i.e. before use eof() – userInThisWorld Nov 25 '17 at 15:21
If you fail to open the file, the loop will never terminate. – molbdnilo Nov 25 '17 at 15:38
I move the code to another new project and works fine! although I didn't change any configuration in the old project! – userInThisWorld Nov 25 '17 at 16:07
