<b>Requirement 2</b>:
For a given program execution, the mapping <i>W</i>, when limited to synchronizing operations,
must be explainable by some implicit total order of the synchronizing operations
that is consistent with sequencing and the values read and written by those operations.

A data symbol with the <code>RODATA</code> flag
is allocated in read-only memory and is therefore treated
as implicitly marked <code>NOPTR</code>.
A data symbol with a total size smaller than a pointer
is also treated as implicitly marked <code>NOPTR</code>.
It is not possible to define a symbol containing pointers in an assembly source file;
such a symbol must be defined in a Go source file instead.
