Can Visual C++ limit the number of global variables?

Question

C++ / C#

Here is the actual code that the studio complains about with this error: error C2078: too many initializers.

#pragma once
#include "HTTPClient.h"

using namespace HTTP;
  static char *General[GENERAL_COUNT_HEADERS] = 
  {
      "CacheControl",
      "Connection",
      "Date",
      "MIMEVersion",
      "Pragma",
      "Trailer",
      "TransferEncoding",
      "Upgrade",
      "Via",
      "Warning"
  };

  static char *Request[REQUEST_COUNT_HEADERS] =
  {
    "Accept",
    "AcceptCharset",
    "AcceptEncoding",
    "AcceptLanguage",
    "Authorization",
    "ContentDispositionRq",
    "Expect",
    "From",
    "Host",
    "IfMatch",
    "IfModifiedSince",
    "IfNoneMatch",
    "IfRange",
    "IfUnmodifiedSince",
    "MaxForwards",
    "ProxyAuthorization",
    "Range",
    "Refer",
    "TE",
    "UserAgent"
  };
  static char *Response[RESPONSE_COUNT_HEADERS] =
  {
    "AcceptRanges",
    "Age",
    "Alternates",
    "ContentDispositionRs",
    "ETag",
    "Location",
    "ProxyAuthenticate",
    "Public",
    "RetryAfter",
    "Server",
    "Vary",
    "WWWAuthenticate"
  };
  static char Entity[ENTITY_COUNT_HEADERS] = 
  {
    "ContentDispositionE",
    "ContentEncoding",
    "ContentLanguage",
    "ContentLength",
    "ContentLocation",
    "ContentMD5",
    "ContentRange",
    "ContentType",
    "ContentVersion",
    "DerivedFrom",
    "Expires",
    "LastModified",
    "Link",
    "Title"
  };
HTTPClient::HTTPClient(int a)
{
  a=a;
};

int HTTPClient::Header(GeneralHeaders header, char *value)
{
  cout << General[header] << ": " << value << endl;
  return 0;
};
int HTTPClient::Header(RequestHeaders header, char *value)
{
  cout << Request[header] << ": " << value << endl;
  return 0;
};
/*int HTTPClient::Request(HTTPClient::Headers header)
{
  return 0;
}*/;

HTTPClient::~HTTPClient(void)
{
};

Thus the cursor becomes in the block of lines Entity. If you comment it out, then everything is OK, well, this is very strange, why would I be forbidden to use as many variables as I need? Does anyone have an opinion on this matter, maybe somehow it is possible to redefine this stupidity in the directives?

You can either write to Microsoft to treat char as a string, or just write char* as done in arrays above.
