Abstract

AbstractThe relationship between parameter passing mechanisms and run time data structures in languages with statically‐nested scopes is examined. It is shown that simpler data structures can be used in some cases, with increased efficiency in accessing non‐local variables. In particular it is true for the call‐by‐value‐result mechanism, where the usage of displays can be eliminated altogether; however there is some additional cost associated with procedure calls. Under certain conditions the same implementation applies to call‐by‐reference.
