Is segmentation really that bad? With an assembler you have direct control of which segment is being used. It's unlikely a hobby project will span more than 64k

Is segmentation really that bad? With an assembler you have direct control of which segment is being used. It's unlikely a hobby project will span more than 64k. Even if it does, for a lot of projects the individual data structures are small enough to split between segments.
- spc476 5y agoIt only becomes an issue of have a data structure that can exceed 64K in size, or multiple structures, who aggregate size is greater than 64k in size. Then you have to deal with so called FAR pointers.
