1. Cascade
1. A huge volume of spurious error-message output produced by a
compiler with poor error recovery. Too frequently, one trivial syntax
error (such as a missing ‘)’ or ‘}’) throws the
parser out of synch so that much of the remaining program text is
interpreted as garbaged or ill-formed. 2. A chain of Usenet followups, each adding some trivial variation
or riposte to the text of the previous one, all of which is reproduced in
the new message; an include war in which the object
is to create a sort of communal graffito.
