(foldoc) | trampoline
An incredibly hairy technique, found in some HLL and
program-overlay implementations (e.g. on the Macintosh), that
involves on-the-fly generation of small executable (and,
likely as not, self-modifying) code objects to do indirection
between code sections. These pieces of live data are called
"trampolines". Trampolines are notoriously difficult to
understand in action; in fact, it is said by those who use
this term that the trampoline that doesn't bend your brain is
not the true trampoline. See also snap.

n.
An incredibly hairy technique, found in some HLL and program-overlay
implementations (e.g., on the Macintosh), that involves on-the-fly
generation of small executable (and, likely as not, self-modifying) code
objects to do indirection between code sections. Under BSD and possibly in
other Unixes, trampoline code is used to transfer control from the kernel
back to user mode when a signal (which has had a handler installed) is sent
to a process. These pieces of live data are called trampolines.
