| (compiler) | static link - (Or "access link" or "environment link") A pointer
from an activation record to the activation record for the
textually enclosing scope. A static link is only required
in a statically (lexically) scoped language. The number of static links to follow may be determined statically (at compile time). It is simply the difference in lexical nesting depth between the declaration and the reference. See also display. |
