Examples of indirection

indirection
Firstly, a layer of indirection has been imposed, because labels are not implemented directly as code pointers.
The event-based model offers new degrees of freedom and awarded benefits, but newly introduced indirections also always create complexity that must be handled.
This is a pointed illustration of the plurifunctionality of linguistic elements to encode indirection and patriarchal ideology (in addition to referential content).
Not only does this introduce extra indirections but, more seriously, it gives rise to a lot of extra memory allocation.
The inclusion of explicit indirection nodes is a crucial innovation here.
Note that, since the analysis works on the level of program variables, some indirection will be required.
The discernment and deployment of deception and indirection required in courtship prepared men for courtly existence as a whole.
As we have said, in the actual implementation updates are always made by indirections and all update-able closures have enough space for storing an indirection.
Since the same indirection operator is often used repeatedly, we cache these pre-images for later re-use.
A different design option could have been generating an indirection to the previous partial application and not replicating the arguments.
All indirections can easily be removed during garbage collection, by another nice trick.
But if there is to be only one instance of the abstraction, and if performance is critical, the cost of indirection may be too high.
The fixed-size scheme avoids this indirection cost and also enables simple reference-counting collection without fragmentation.
In the self-updating model a remote pointer can be represented as a special kind of indirection, and no tests for remote pointers need be performed.
Since indirections are thereby never moved into to-space, they don't have a scavenging routine.
