what is a far pointer
Answer Posted / sujith
I am not very sure what Bhardwaj is trying to answer with a
secondary memory. If he point out something to your hard
disk or something like that, i think i cannot agree with that.
Any pointer by default is a near pointer. another set of
pointers are far and huge, and they differ only in terms how
they store the value of the normalised pointer value.
A far/huge pointer is used to access a location which is
outside your current segment.
