indirect addressing
An addressing mode found in many processors'
instruction sets where the instruction contains the address
of a memory location which contains the address of the operand
(the "effective address") or specifies a register which
contains the effective address. In the first case
(indirection via memory), accessing the operand requires two
memory accesses - one to fetch the effective address and
another to read or write the actual operand. Register
indirect addressing requires only one memory access.
An indirect address may be indicated in assembly language by
an operand in parentheses, e.g. in Motorola 68000 assembly
MOV D0,(A0)
writes the contents of register D0 to the location pointed to
by the address in register A0.
Indirect addressing is often combined with pre- or post-
increment or decrement addressing, allowing the address of the
operand to be increased or decreased by one (or some specified
number) either before or after using it.

indirect addressing
An addressing mode found in many processors'
instruction sets where the instruction contains the address
of a memory location which contains the address of the operand
(the "effective address") or specifies a register which
contains the effective address. In the first case
(indirection via memory), accessing the operand requires two
memory accesses - one to fetch the effective address and
another to read or write the actual operand. Register
indirect addressing requires only one memory access.
An indirect address may be indicated in assembly language by
an operand in parentheses, e.g. in Motorola 68000 assembly
MOV D0,(A0)
writes the contents of register D0 to the location pointed to
by the address in register A0.
Indirect addressing is often combined with pre- or post-
increment or decrement addressing, allowing the address of the
operand to be increased or decreased by one (or some specified
number) either before or after using it.

indirect jump
(foldoc) | indirect jump
A jump via an indirect address, i.e. the
jump instruction contains the address of a memory location
that contains the address of the next instruction to execute.
The location containing the address to jump to is sometimes
called a vector.
Indirect jumps make normal code hard to understand because the
jump target is a run-time property of the program that depends
on the execution history. They are useful for, e.g. allowing
user code to replace operating system code or setting up
event handlers.

indirection
(foldoc) | indirection
Manipulating data via its address. Indirection
is a powerful and general programming technique. It can be
used for example to process data stored in a sequence of
consecutive memory locations by maintaining a pointer to the
current item and incrementing it to point to the next item.
Indirection is supported at the machine language level by
indirect addressing. Many processor and operating system
architectures use vectors which are also an instance of
indirection, being locations which hold the address of a
routine to handle a particular event. The event handler can
be changed simply by pointing the vector at a new piece of
code.
C includes operators "&" which returns the address of a
variable and its inverse "*" which returns the variable at a
given address.

proves another, the certainty of which may lead to the discovery of the
