chase pointers
<programming> To determine a chain of memory locations where each
location holds a pointer to the next, starting from some initial pointer, e.g.
traversing a linked list or other graph structure. This may be performed by a
computer executing a program or by a programmer going through a core dump or
using a debugger.
