the amd64 section says "c pointer values are 64 bits". this is not true for 9front, is it? would it be appropriate to change it or insert a note to say so?

I'm pretty sure that it is true: On amd64, pointers are 64 bits.

you're right ori. i just tested with int *p; print("%d", sizeof(p));
i found the source of my confusion: malloc takes ulong size, which is 32 bits.
nothing really new here then.
