Indeed.  All the C compilers I used for many years (on both PDP-11 and
80286 under Unix) assumed a segmented memory space with separate data
and text addresses spaces.  More recently, the same can be said for
AVR and many other Harvard architecture machines.

The "linear memory with bytes addressed from 0 to max-int or max-long"
thing is merely an implicit assumption made by bad C programmers.
