text segment

The segment of a UNIX object file that contains the machine language code for routines in the source file.

Figure 2.13 The RISC-V memory allocation for program and data.These addresses are only a software convention, and not part of the RISC-V architecture. The user address space is set to 2³⁸ of the potential 2⁶⁴ total address space given a 64-bit architecture (see Chapter 5). The stack pointer is initialized to 0000 003f ffff fff0_hex and grows down toward the data segment. At the other end, the program code (“text”) starts at 0000 0000 0040 0000_hex. The static data starts immediately after the end of the text segment; in this ...
