Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I think the documentation is correct as it stands; the question is what a "distinct memory location" is. Wrt. reference count, this surely refers to pointers; each pointer is at least 4 bytes, and pointers are four-aligned. So for N bits address space, there can be at most 2**(N-2) pointers.
