1. To remove indirection, e.g. by replacing a
pointer to a pointer with a pointer to the final target (see
chase pointers).
The underlying metaphor may be a rubber band stretched through
a number of points; if you release it from the intermediate
points, it snaps to a straight line from first to last.
Often a trampoline performs an error check once and then
snaps the pointer that invoked it so subsequent calls will
bypass the trampoline (and its one-shot error check). In this
context one also speaks of "snapping links". For example, in
a Lisp implementation, a function interface trampoline might
check to make sure that the caller is passing the correct
number of arguments; if it is, and if the caller and the
callee are both compiled, then snapping the link allows that
particular path to use a direct procedure-call instruction
with no further overhead.

(jargon) | snap
v.
To replace a pointer to a pointer with a direct pointer; to replace an old
address with the forwarding address found there. If you telephone the main
number for an institution and ask for a particular person by name, the
operator may tell you that person's extension before connecting you, in the
hopes that you will snap your pointer and dial direct next time. The
underlying metaphor may be that of a rubber band stretched through a number
of intermediate points; if you remove all the thumbtacks in the middle, it
snaps into a straight line from first to last. See chase pointers.
Often, the behavior of a trampoline is to perform an error check once and
then snap the pointer that invoked it so as henceforth to bypass the
trampoline (and its one-shot error check). In this context one also speaks
of snapping links. For example, in a LISP implementation, a function
interface trampoline might check to make sure that the caller is passing
the correct number of arguments; if it is, and if the caller and the callee
are both compiled, then snapping the link allows that particular path to
use a direct procedure-call instruction with no further overhead.
