  2. Dynamic dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_dispatch

    The purpose of dynamic dispatch is to defer the selection of an appropriate implementation until the run time type of a parameter (or multiple parameters) is known. Dynamic dispatch is different from late binding (also known as dynamic binding). Name binding associates a name with an operation. A polymorphic operation has several ...

  3. Late binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_binding

    Currently, it is popular to use the term late binding in Java programming as a synonym for dynamic dispatch. Specifically, this refers to Java's single dispatch mechanism used with virtual methods. Finally, Java can use late binding using its reflection APIs and type introspection much in the same way it is done in COM and .NET programming ...

  4. Virtual method table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table

    In computer programming, a virtual method table (VMT), virtual function table, virtual call table, dispatch table, vtable, or vftable is a mechanism used in a programming language to support dynamic dispatch (or run-time method binding).

  5. Name binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_binding

    Dynamic binding (or late binding or virtual binding) is name binding performed as the program is running. [2] An example of a static binding is a direct C function call: the function referenced by the identifier cannot change at runtime. An example of dynamic binding is dynamic dispatch, as in a C++ virtual method call.

  7. Polymorphism (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer...

    late binding, because virtual function calls are not bound until the time of invocation; single dispatch (i.e., single-argument polymorphism), because virtual function calls are bound simply by looking through the vtable provided by the first argument (the this object), so the runtime types of the other arguments are completely irrelevant.

  8. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]

  9. Nim (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim_(programming_language)

    Static dispatch is preferred, more performant, and standard even among method-looking routines. [80] Nonetheless, if dynamic dispatch is so desired, Nim provides the method keyword for enabling dynamic dispatch on reference types.
