r3650 r3854 149 149 150 150 <p> 151 Logtalk supports both static binding and dynamic binding. Static binding is used whenever messages are sent (using <code>::/2</code>) to objects loaded using the <code>reload(skip)</code> compiler flag. When that is not the case (or when using <code>::/1</code>), Logtalk uses dynamic binding coupled with a caching mechanism that avoids repeated lookups of predicate declarations and predicate definitions. This is a solution common to other programming languages supporting dynamic binding. Message lookups are automatically cached the first time a message is sent. Cache entries are automatically removed when loading entities or using Logtalk dynamic features that invalidate the cached lookups.151 Logtalk supports both static binding and dynamic binding. Static binding is used whenever messages are sent (using <code>::/2</code>) to objects loaded separately using the <code>reload(skip)</code> compiler flag.
