Line 10:
Is a [[thunk]] and/or a [[trampoline (computers)]] also a kind of self-modifying code?

:Not unless the code is generated at run time - and, even there, unless existing code is overwritten, ''I'' wouldn't call it self-modifying code. (I.e., I think this article should apply only to cases where existing code is modified; I don't think the generation of ''new'' code at run time can reasonably be described as code doing "self-modification".)
