There are two independent feedback issues we fixed to address the string size limitation:

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/__FUNCTIONW__-cannot-handle-long-names-a/1425758
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Long-literal-char-arrays-are-not-interpr/1374615

In both cases, after 17.0, the compiler has no limitation on string length emission. The only remaining limitation is in how large of a string literal the preprocessor can handle--which is not currently documented.
