Or if you were programming on an 8086 in large memory model where int is 16 bit and a pointer is 32 bit (16 bit segment, 16 bit offset) This makes me wonder if

Or if you were programming on an 8086 in large memory model where int is 16 bit and a pointer is 32 bit (16 bit segment, 16 bit offset) This makes me wonder if anyone ever did a compiler where malloc returned a segment + offset (I think that gives a 48 bit pointer) for a 386 class machine.
