dangling pointer
(foldoc) | dangling pointer
A reference that doesn't actually lead anywhere.
In C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't
actually point at anything valid. Usually this happens
because it formerly pointed to something that has moved or
disappeared, e.g. a heap-allocated block which has been freed
and reused.
Used as jargon in a generalisation of its technical meaning;
for example, a local phone number for a person who has since
moved is a dangling pointer.
This dictionary contains many dangling pointers -
cross-references to non-existent entries, as explained in {the
Help page (help.html)}.
