Addressvaries is a term sometimes used in computing to describe situations where the memory address of a data object is not fixed and can change across executions, runs, or memory-management operations. It is not a formal standard term in core textbooks, but it appears in discussions about memory layout, security, and dynamic environments.
The phenomenon arises from several mechanisms. Dynamic memory allocators can relocate objects within the heap. Moving
In software engineering, addressvaries has practical implications. Pointers to relocated objects may need to be updated,
Related concepts include relocation, address space layout randomization, and memory virtualization. Addressvaries is thus a broad
