....disadvantage of segmentation is the fixed division between the segment identifier and offset fields of an address which limits both the number of segments and the size of the largest segment that can be represented. For example, in Multics, a segment is limited to 2 18 words and in the 8086 [14], a segment is limited to 2 16 bytes. While the 80386 [15] extends the maximum segment size to 2 32 bytes, using these segments is unwieldy as it requires handling 48 bit pointers and one process can address at most 2 16 segments. Guarded pointers borrow from [8] the use of a floating point ....
