symbolic address

Some residents of West 62d Street are annoyed by the floating address of a new apartment house in their neighborhood and are suing to try to anchor the number before it causes more confusion among people doing business in or visiting the area.

It has rather basic features: symbolic addresses may be defined, but symbols are only two letters long.

You can't use a symbolic address.

The symbolic addresses have corresponding numeric memory locations.

Alternatively, it may be a symbolic address, which is converted to an actual address via some form of key transformation scheme.

The normal use of symbolic addresses is to name "paragraphs", i.e., related blocks of code or data.

When a programmer uses an assembler language, he uses mnemonic instruction names and symbolic addresses.

Instead of the binary memory address there is a symbolic address (i.e. a letter or word which stands for a memory location).

The (right-hand) value is copied into an allocated storage location for which the (left-hand) variable name is the symbolic address.

Hardware switches which define the symbolic address of the module and identify the beginning and end of the data buffer can be set via appropriate member functions.

Assembly language has little semantics or formal specification, being only a mapping of human-readable symbols, including symbolic addresses, to opcodes, addresses, numeric constants, strings and so on.

To prepare a machine language program from a symbolic language program by substituting absolute operation codes for symbolic operation codes and absolute or relocatable addresses for symbolic addresses.

It came less than 24 hours after he acknowledged the efforts of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) to build better community relations in a symbolic address at Queen's University in Belfast.

In one sense, the location was unlikely; K Street is a symbolic address, like Madison Avenue or Fleet Street, in this case representing the capital’s thriving industry of trade associations and corporate lobbyists.

Since three-address code is used as an intermediate language within compilers, the operands will most likely not be concrete memory addresses or processor registers, but rather symbolic addresses that will be translated into actual addresses during register allocation.

Programmers also used these NOP instructions to provide space for future inserted instructions, since the assembler did not allow for use of symbolic addresses, and the insertion of a single instruction could otherwise require rewriting a lot of code.
