| |
Maybe I am on the bad mailing-list but my question is the following : Why are programs mapped into memory segments that start around 0x8048000 ? How is it chosen and why is this choice made ? For example, why couldn't is be 0x1000000 ?
for example :
% cat /proc/1/maps 08048000-0804f000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 6078 /sbin/init 0804f000-08050000 rw-p 00006000 08:01 6078 /sbin/init 08050000-08054000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 ... bfffe000-c0000000 rwxp fffff000 00:00 0
(Version of linux is 2.2.13)
thanks for your answers.
