Segment-offset address pairs that point to the same address[edit]

"Comparison and arithmetic on far pointers are problematic: there are potentially sixteen different segment-offset address pairs that point to the same address."

Are you sure it isn't potentially 4096? There's a 12 bit overlap between the segment and the offset. $2^{12}=4096$ . Egriffin (talk) 18:00, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who added the two () with his own idea's and not facts?[edit]

Include near/huge pointers[edit]

Would be nice if this stub article could be padded with more information, perhaps about near and huge pointers, or made more generic by changing to ex. "Pointer sizes" / "Types of pointers". 104.228.101.152 (talk) 14:03, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
