Reserved Memory Addresses?
- by Nate
Is there a list of reserved memory addresses out there - a list of addresses that the memory of a user-space program could never be allocated to? I realize this is most likely per-OS or per-architecture, but I was hoping someone might know some of the more common OSes and Arches. I could only dig one up for a few versions of windows:
for windows NT,2k and XP that would be:
0x00000000 - 0x0000ffff - lowest page is protected to simplify debugging
0x00001000 - 0x7ffeffff - memory area for your application
0x7fff0000 - 0x7fffffff - protected area to keep memory-functions from damaging the following part
0x80000000 - 0xffffffff - memory where the system including drivers and so on is located
Anyone know about for Linux, or BSD (or anything else, for that matter)?
