I can see that the first two can be subtracted to give the sizes of the data, which is 70 or 0x46. 0x46 is the last byte of the address of _size, so what's happening there? What's with the crap in bits 16-47?

But something is not right. I've also asked what is the point of the -size symbol if you can just do -end - -start, but nobody has explained.

      typedef unsigned char uchar;
     extern uchar _binary_hello_c_size[];
     long hello_c_size = _binary_hello_c_size - (uchar *)0;

What result for the size did you get when you ran this?
It seems people are just guessing what might be the right code and posting random fragments!
