Shim

n : a thin wedge of material (wood or metal or stone) for driving into crevices


<jargon, memory management> A small piece of data inserted in order to achieve a desired memory alignment or other addressing property.

For example, the PDP-11 Unix linker, in split I&D
(instructions and data) mode, inserts a two-byte shim at location 0 in data space so that no data object will have an address of 0 (and be confused with the {C} null pointer).

See also loose bytes.
