 Absolutely.  Sometimes it may be hard to fulfil, though, e.g. the address 
supplied may be a result of macro expansion at the preprocessing stage and 
depending on some options it may expand either to a constant or to 
something else, e.g. a symbol.  Making the instruction a part of the 
expansion may be difficult or at least obscure.  And a constant is a valid 
address after all. ;-)
