Question

Q. Which of the following parameter is not included in the activation record of recursive function call?

1.Local variables of function 2.Return value of function 3. Global variables of program 4.Access link

Answer 1

A general activation record consist of the following things:

• Local variables: hold the data that is local to the execution of the procedure.
• Temporary values: stores the values that arise in the evaluation of an expression.
• Machine status: holds the information about status of machine just before the function call.
• Access link (optional): refers to non-local data held in other activation records.
• Control link (optional): points to activation record of caller.
• Return value: used by the called procedure to return a value to calling procedure
• Actual parameters of A

 so ans is (3) Global variables of program

Comments

We have access links in activation record in order to access non-local variables thus there is no need to store global variables in stack.
