Hi,

I have a question about symbol table.
One of the section In symbol table is memory adress which symbol is located.
I wonder if this memory adress is bound at run-time or compile-time?
if it is compile-time, I don't understand how do we know whether the symbol
is located this adress.
Maybe this adress is already bound by other process or like this.

I look forward to answers

thank you
