 1 //: ELF binaries have finicky rules about the precise alignment each segment
 2 //: should start at. They depend on the amount of code in a program.
 3 //: We shouldn't expect people to adjust segment addresses everytime they make
 4 //: a change to their programs.
 5 //: Let's start taking the given segment addresses as guidelines, and adjust
 6 //: them as necessary.
 7 //: This gives up a measure of control in placing code and data.

77 //: - We'd like to finish expanding labels before computing segment addresses,
78 //:   because it would make computing the sizes of segments more self-contained
79 //:   (num_bytes).
80 //:
81 //: Decision: compute segment addresses before expanding labels, by being
82 //: aware in this layer of certain operand types that will eventually occupy
83 //: multiple bytes.
84 //:
85 //: The layer to expand labels later hooks into num_bytes() to teach this
86 //: layer that labels occupy zero space in the binary.
