Tagged pointer

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tagged_pointer an entity of type: Abstraction100002137

In computer science, a tagged pointer is a pointer (concretely a memory address) with additional data associated with it, such as an indirection bit or reference count. This additional data is often "folded" into the pointer, meaning stored inline in the data representing the address, taking advantage of certain properties of memory addressing. The name comes from "tagged architecture" systems, which reserved bits at the hardware level to indicate the significance of each word; the additional data is called a "tag" or "tags", though strictly speaking "tag" refers to data specifying a type, not other data; however, the usage "tagged pointer" is ubiquitous. rdf:langString

rdf:langString The example based on tagged number representation is the actual inaccuracy since a pointer value is tagged not a data value.
