Swizzle
  • v. To convert external names, array indices, or references within a data structure into address pointers when the data structure is brought into main memory from external storage (also called `pointer swizzling'); this may be done for speed in chasing references or to simplify code (e. g. , by turning lots of name lookups into pointer dereferences). The converse operation is sometimes termed `unswizzling'. See also snap.
