Sorry if I mis-explained myself.
We are writing sections of a certain constant size, which might not be
completely full, meaning parts of the sections don't have useful words
but zero. What I am trying to calculate is the number of words which are
zero and meaningless.
This is useful for example to know, how much more space we still have in
a data / constant / program section.
