fandango on core
(foldoc) | fandango on core
(Unix/C, from the Mexican dance) In C,
a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump,
or corrupts the malloc arena in such a way as to cause
mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have "done
a fandango on core". On low-end personal machines without an
MMU, this can corrupt the operating system itself, causing
massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the rhumba,
cha-cha, or watusi, may be substituted.
See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack,
memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core.

fandango on core
(jargon) | fandango on core
n.
[Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out
of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such
a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have
‘done a fandango on core’. On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or
Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can
corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances, such
as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted. See aliasing bug, {
precedence lossage}, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, {
overrun screw}, core.
