Hi, Thanks a lot for all the links! I read the two articles below by Gustavo but I am still very confused about segmentation. One of the articles below says that the segments in virtual address space are different from 'intel-style segments' whereas I used to think of them as being the same. Could somebody please state the difference clearly for me and explain how these two work together. I would really appreciate if someone could explain the whole chain from generation of addresses by compiler and then translation of those addresses in case of Segmentation working along with Paging. I am unable to comprehend how a compiler generates address for a segmented memory model. Explaining the whole chain, I think , can serve the purpose. Thanks!

Hi,
I am eager to understand the basics of Memory models (flat, segmented etc) , CPU modes (real,protected) and address translation (physical to logical etc.) and how all of them work together.
maybe something like this?
This should nail it :)
