hardcoded

from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
hardcoded
 adj.

   1. [common] Said of data inserted directly into a program, where it
   cannot be easily modified, as opposed to data in some {profile},
   resource (see {de-rezz} sense 2), or environment variable that a
   {user} or hacker can easily modify.

   2. In C, this is esp. applied to use of a literal instead of a #define
   macro (see {magic number}).
