+**All** AARCH64 pointers are 8 bytes in width†.

+†While this is technically true, typically only the lower 39, 42

+address space of an ARM Linux process is smaller than 64 bits. The upper
+bits are set to zero when considering the address as an 8-byte value.
 
 ## How to Specify an Address Too Big to Fit in an Instruction?

+labels refer to addresses. Addresses are 8 bytes† in width but all
