Address Binding

Definition of address bindings is a procedure to determine the physical address that will used by the programs contained in main memory. Address binding is done of a program can be done in three distinct phases, namely:


• Compilation time.
At this stage of a program initially will produce a form of address symbols, then these symbols will be directly converted into an absolute address or physical address that is static. When a shift occurs when the address of the program then to return to the address that should be done recompilation. example: file type. com which is the result of compiling the program


• Load time.
At this stage the program was originally produced in the form of address symbols random in nature (relative address), then a recount will be conducted in order to program is placed at addresses that can be reallocated (relocateble address). In short bindings occur at the time the program has finished being loaded. Example: File type. Exe. • Execution time.
Address is relative, the bindings will be done at run time. At run time it takes the help of the hardware MMU (Memory Management Unit).
