Trampoline (computers)
In computer programming, the word trampoline has a number of meanings, associated with jumps.
- Trampolines (sometimes referred to as indirect jump vectors) are memory locations holding addresses pointing to interrupt service routines, I/O routines, etc. The idea of "bouncing" off a trampoline is to overcome the limitations imposed by a CPU architecture that expects to always find vectors in fixed locations.
- In the gcc compiler, trampoline refers to a technique for implementing function pointers.
