1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: workaround n. 1. A temporary kluge used to bypass, mask, or otherwise avoid a bug or misfeature in some system. Theoretically, workarounds are always replaced by fixes; in practice, customers often find themselves living with workarounds for long periods of time. ?The code died on NUL characters in the input, so I fixed it to interpret them as spaces.? ?That's not a fix, that's a workaround!? 2. A procedure to be employed by the user in order to do what some currently non-working feature should do. Hypothetical example: ?Using META-F7 crashes the 4.43 build of Weemax, but as a workaround you can type CTRL-R, then SHIFT-F5, and delete the remaining cruft by hand.?
