chase pointers

To determine a chain of memory locations where
each location holds a pointer to the next, starting from some
initial pointer, e.g. traversing a linked list or other
graph structure. This may be performed by a computer
executing a program or by a programmer going through a {core
dump} or using a debugger.

(jargon)
chase pointers


1. vi. To go through multiple levels of indirection, as in traversing a
linked list or graph structure. Used esp. by programmers in C, where
explicit pointers are a very common data type. This is techspeak, but it
remains jargon when used of human networks. “I'm chasing pointers. Bob said
you could tell me who to talk to about....” See dangling pointer and {
snap}.

2. [Cambridge] pointer chase or pointer hunt: The process of going through
a core dump (sense 1), interactively or on a large piece of paper printed
with hex runes, following dynamic data-structures. Used only in a
debugging context.
