thunk

Definition

thunk rate
(Noun) (computer science) A small fragment of code that acts as an intermediary in the call from one method or function to another, to perform adjustments needed to execute the second method or function properly.
Usage: For example, a thunk may be used in some environments to transition from code written in machine language to a C function, in order to set up the heap and stack pointers properly for the call.
