compile-time binding

[kəmˈpaɪl-taɪm ˈbaɪndɪŋ]
nounpl: compile-time bindings
vinculação em tempo de compilação
1. A programming concept where method calls or variable references are resolved and bound to their implementations during the compilation phase, before the program is executed. This is characteristic of statically-typed languages.
In Java, compile-time binding determines which method will be called based on the declared type of the variable, not its runtime type.
Em Java, a vinculação em tempo de compilação determina qual método será chamado com base no tipo declarado da variável, não no seu tipo em tempo de execução.
2. The process of connecting symbolic references to actual memory addresses or method implementations at compile time rather than at runtime.
Compile-time binding provides better performance because the binding decisions are made before execution.
A vinculação em tempo de compilação oferece melhor desempenho porque as decisões de vinculação são tomadas antes da execução.
This is a technical term primarily used in software development and computer science contexts. It is used identically in both Brazil and the USA within technical communities, though Brazilian Portuguese may occasionally use 'ligação' as an alternative to 'vinculação'. The concept is fundamental to understanding differences between statically-typed and dynamically-typed programming languages.
