Address of data that is static, be it shared or tls or __gshared or immutable on o/s

[Cecil Ward via Digitalmars-d-learn]

If someone has some static data somewhere, be it in tls or marked 
shared __gshared or immutable or combinations (whatever), and 
someone takes the address of it and pass that address to some 
other routine of mine that does not have access to the source 
code of the original definition of the object in question, then 
is it possible to just use 'the address' passed without knowing 
anything about that data? I'm assuming that the answer might also 
depend on compilers, machine architectures and operating systems?

If this kind of assumption is very ill-advised, is there anything 
written up about implementation details in different operating 
systems / compilers ?
