You can automate ScriptEditor by itself and try the limitation of
AppleScript.
I tested handler limitation by generationg AppleScript.
script testHandlers
on test_00001()
return 1
end test_00001
on test_00002()
return 2
end test_00002
.
.
.
on test_0XXXX()
return XXXX
end test_0XXXX
end script
2000 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK
2100 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK (But not saved)
2200 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK (But not saved)
2300 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK (But not saved)
2400 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK (But not saved)
2500 Handler -> Compile OK, Save OK (But not saved)
5000 Handler -> Script Editor displays "Overflow of internal table" message
in compiling
I think "limit on the number of handler calls in a single AppleScript source
file" is about 2,000. This number may be changed by the length of character
of each handler.
