Static memory management (naive)

For every name binding, we assign a fixed memory location.

Hence we have natural constraints:

• Size of each data structure must be known at compile-time. For instance, arrays whose size depends on function parameters are not possible.

• Recursive functions are not possible, each recursive call needs its own copy of parameters and local variables.

• Data structures such as closures cannot be created dynamically.

We also have advantages:

• Speed

• Safety

  Programs cannot run out of space at run-time.
