 39  * A value layout used to model the address of some region of memory. The carrier associated with an address layout is
 40  * {@code MemorySegment.class}. The size and alignment of an address layout are platform-dependent
 41  * (e.g. on a 64-bit platform, the size and alignment of an address layout are set to 8 bytes).
 42  * <p>
 43  * An address layout may optionally feature a {@linkplain #targetLayout() target layout}. An address layout with
 44  * target layout {@code T} can be used to model the address of a region of memory whose layout is {@code T}.
 45  * For instance, an address layout with target layout {@link ValueLayout#JAVA_INT} can be used to model the address
 46  * of a region of memory that is 4 bytes long. Specifying a target layout can be useful in the following situations:
 47  * <ul>
 48  *     <li>When accessing a memory segment that has been obtained by reading an address from another
 49  *     memory segment, e.g. using {@link MemorySegment#getAtIndex(AddressLayout, long)};</li>
 50  *     <li>When creating a downcall method handle, using {@link Linker#downcallHandle(FunctionDescriptor, Option...)};
 51  *     <li>When creating an upcall stub, using {@link Linker#upcallStub(MethodHandle, FunctionDescriptor, Arena, Option...)}.
