indirection (programming)Manipulating data via its address. Indirectionis a powerful and general programming technique. It can beused for example to process data stored in a sequence ofconsecutive memory locations by maintaining a pointer to thecurrent item and incrementing it to point to the next item.
Indirection is supported at the machine language level byindirect addressing. Many processor and operating systemarchitectures use vectors which are also an instance ofindirection, being locations which hold the address of aroutine to handle a particular event. The event handler canbe changed simply by pointing the vector at a new piece ofcode.
C includes operators "&" which returns the address of avariable and its inverse "*" which returns the variable at agiven address.indirectionNot direct. Indirection provides a way of accessing instructions, routines and objects when their physical location is constantly changing. The initial routine points to some place, and, using hardware and/or software, that place points to some other place. There can be multiple levels of indirection. For example, point to A, which points to B, which points to C. See indirect address.indirection
