Segments that can be in virtual storage simultaneously are considered inclusive.
Segments in the same region but not in the same path are considered exclusive;
they cannot be in virtual storage simultaneously. Figure 1 shows the inclusive and exclusive segments
in the sample program.
Figure 1. Inclusive
and exclusive segments
Segments upon which two or more exclusive segments are dependent are called common segments. A segment common to two other segments is part of the path of each segment. In Figure 1, segment 2 is common to segments 3 and 4, but not to segment 5. An inclusive reference is a reference between inclusive segments, from a segment in storage to an external symbol in a segment that does not cause overlay of the calling segment. An exclusive reference is a reference between exclusive segments, a reference from a segment in storage to an external symbol in a segment that causes overlay of the calling segment. Figure 1 shows the difference between an inclusive reference and an exclusive reference. The arrows indicate references between segments. |
