Abstract

Dynamic call site binding includes determining, based on a context of a call received from a call site, a pointer to target code to be executed to carry out the call. A cache entry is generated, for use with subsequent calls from the call site, the cache entry associating the context of the call with the pointer to the target code. The cache entry is saved as being associated with the call site.
