"If you’ve stared at too many Linux coredumps, as I have, that number looks suspicious. Interpreted in little-endian, that is 0x00007f1b5358a800, which points near the top of the userspace portion of the address space on an amd64 Linux machine.

In fewer words: It’s most likely a pointer."

As someone who has not stared at any core dump for more than about 2 seconds, I admire this level of skill.
