VDict - Definition of display

Computing (FOLDOC) dictionary (also found in English - Vietnamese, English - English (Wordnet), )

display

1. hardware monitor.

2. language A vector of pointers to activation records.

The Nth element points to the activation record containing

variables declared at lexical depth N. This allows faster

access to variables from outer scopes than the alternative

of linked activation records (but most variable accesses are

either local or global or occasionally to the immediately

enclosing scope). Displays were used in some ALGOL

implementations.
