frameCount limit

Hello.

Right now I'm working on a Processing program which will be used for a museum station. This will make the program run for around 10 hours before computer restarts.

Are there any limitations, besides the variable frameCount being 32 bits, for a program running lots of hours nonstop?

What happens if I reach the maximum frameCount? Does Processing break or does it reset to 0 and keeps going?

At 60 frames/second frameCount (a signed 32-bit int) will give you more than a year of runtime before it overflows.

Thanks. I thought it would be a long time anyway.
