Memory Management<br />

Segmentation<br />

– It also facilitates protection<br />

» Different segments (and hence different types of<br />

data) can have different types of protection<br />

associated with them<br />

a function segment could be execute-only<br />

an array might be read & write only, not execute<br />

» attempts to execute the array segment can then<br />

be trapped<br />

» All this works because the programmer is aware<br />

of what is in each segment<br />

» This isn’t the case in a paged system<br />
