Interface Addressable

All Known Subinterfaces:
CLinker.VaList, LibraryLookup.Symbol, MemoryAddress, MemorySegment
public interface Addressable
Represents a type which is addressable. An addressable type is one which can be projected down to a memory address instance (see address()). Examples of addressable types are MemorySegment, MemoryAddress, LibraryLookup.Symbol and CLinker.VaList.
API Note:
In the future, if the Java language permits, Addressable may become a sealed interface, which would prohibit subclassing except by explicitly permitted types, such as MemorySegment, MemoryAddress, LibraryLookup.Symbol and CLinker.VaList.
Implementation Requirements:
Implementations of this interface value-based.
