1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]: patch space An unused block of bits left in a binary so that it can later be modified by insertion of machine-language instructions there (typically, the patch space is modified to contain new code, and the superseded code is patched to contain a jump or call to the patch space). The widening use of HLLs has made this term rare; it is now primarily historical outside IBM shops. See patch, zap, hook. [Jargon File]
