What's the meaning of the line A?
It creates on the stack a 2-word structure, puts unsigned 3 in one word
and in the other word puts a pointer to a newly allocated area on the
GC-managed heap, that can contain 3 integers (plus one bookkeeping
byte), so this heap area is probably 4 words long or longer.
Check the code again. int[3] is stack-allocated. There is a temporary on
the heap, but it is thrown away after being used to initialize a.
