| Description | SegPref objects express a preference for the placement of addresses within an address space. The name is misleading: any address may be placed according to a SegPref, not just a segment. NB says [1]: "Should SegPrefs be called something else now?" |
| Analysis | Rename them. To what? Also, there needs to be a Describe function. |
| How found | inspection |

| 187061 | closed | 2014-09-27 11:27:00 | Gareth Rees | Rename SegPref to LocusPref -- this structure describes preferences for the placement of any kind of address, not just segments. Add LocusPrefDescribe and use it in MVFFDescribe. |
