9. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
trap
1. n. A program interrupt, usually an interrupt caused by some exceptional
situation in the user program. In most cases, the OS performs some action,
then returns control to the program.
2. vi. To cause a trap. ?These instructions trap to the monitor.? Also used
transitively to indicate the cause of the trap. ?The monitor traps all
input/output instructions.?
This term is associated with assembler programming (interrupt or exception
is more common among HLL programmers) and appears to be fading into
history among programmers as the role of assembler continues to shrink.
However, it is still important to computer architects and systems hackers
(see system, sense 1), who use it to distinguish deterministically
repeatable exceptions from timing-dependent ones (such as I/O interrupts).
