Reply To: Memory

SAS means there are no homonyms on the Mill. Fair enough. However, what about address synonyms? Memory with copy-on-write semantics is obviously not an issue, so this has no effect on fork(), but I seem to recall someone mentioning that all of physical RAM is mapped at startup, and there are definitely a few neat tricks involving doubly-mapped pages (such as fast circular buffers and heap compaction without pointer changes).
