Thanks a lot for all the links!
I read the two articles below by Gustavo but I am still very confused about segmentation. One of the articles below says that
the segments in virtual address space are different from 'intel-style segments' whereas I used to think of them as being the same.
Could somebody please state the difference clearly for me and explain how these two work together. I would
really appreciate if someone could explain the whole chain from generation of addresses by compiler and then translation of
those addresses in case of Segmentation working along with Paging. I am unable to comprehend how a compiler
generates address for a segmented memory model. Explaining the whole chain, I think , can serve the purpose.
Thanks!
