Accessing memory sections from software.

Is there a way to access the beginning and end of the memory sections from within the software? For example, I need to know where the .text section begins and ends so that I can calculate a checksum...

Right, I'm aware of the .objdump file. What I'm wanting is something that will give me the beginning/end addresses of sections while I'm still working on the code. Until I'm finished coding and testing, I really don't want to hardcode it and change it every time I add or take away code.
