  • About virtual addresses: This will vary by process. Every process has its own virtual address. There can be two processes sharing the same physical memory, but have different virtual addresses (e.g. two processes have read/execute access to a library, and the library is mapped to different virtual addresses in the two processes). Reasons that the virtual addresses are different include: virtual address range in use, address randomisation, just because. Commented Jan 27, 2020 at 22:12
