/** <P> This is the bottom-most interface which abstracts address
    access for both debugging and introspection. In the situation of
    debugging a target VM, these routines can throw the specified
    RuntimeExceptions to indicate failure and allow recovery of the
    debugging system. If these are used for introspecting the current
    VM and implementing functionality in it, however, it is expected
    that these kinds of failures will not occur and, in fact, a crash
    will occur if the situation arises where they would have been
    thrown. </P>

    <P> Addresses are immutable. Further, it was decided not to expose
    the representation of the Address (and provide a corresponding
    factory method from, for example, long to Address). Unfortunately,
    because of the existence of C and "reuse" of low bits of pointers,
    it is occasionally necessary to perform logical operations like
    masking off the low bits of an "address". While these operations
    could be used to generate arbitrary Address objects, allowing this
    is not the intent of providing these operations. </P>

    <P> This interface is able to fetch all Java primitive types,
    addresses, oops, and C integers of arbitrary size (see @see
    sun.jvm.hotspot.types.CIntegerType for further discussion). Note
    that the result of the latter is restricted to fitting into a
    64-bit value and the high-order bytes will be silently discarded
    if too many bytes are requested. </P>

    <P> Implementations may have restrictions, for example that the
    Java-related routines may not be called until a certain point in
    the bootstrapping process once the sizes of the Java primitive
    types are known. (The current implementation has that property.)
    </P>

    <P> A note of warning: in C addresses, when represented as
    integers, are usually represented with unsigned types.
    Unfortunately, there are no unsigned primitive types in Java, so
    care will have to be taken in the implementation of this interface
    if using longs as the representation for 64-bit correctness. This
    is not so simple for the comparison operators. </P> */
