fandango on core

<jargon, programming>

(Unix/C, from the Mexican dance) In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have "done a fandango on core". On low-end personal machines without an MMU, this can corrupt the operating system itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the rhumba, cha-cha, or watusi, may be substituted.

See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core.

fan-out

<electronics>

The number of logic gate inputs that can be driven from a single gate output of the same type. Circuit designers need to add extra buffers if a signal goes to more inputs than the fan-out of the gate that produces it allows.
