Technical Overview of the Common Language Runtime

چکیده
The functionality of the recently announced Microsoft .NET system is founded on the capabilities of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). Unlike some other recent systems based on virtual machines, the CLI was designed from the start to support a wide range of programming languages. It is also expected that ECMA standardization will make the CLI available on a wide range of computing platforms. This combination of multi-language capability and multiplatform implementation make the CLI an important target for future language compilers. In this paper, the technical details of the CLI are briefly described. To motivate some of the discussion a comparison is made with the Java virtual machine (JVM). The JVM was designed under rather different constraints, making it a much more difficult target for languages other than Java . We also briefly discuss the issues involved in mapping various language constructs to the primitives of the CLI.

Technical Overview of the Common Language Runtime ( or why the JVM is not my favorite execution environment ) Erik Meijer and Jim Miller
In the last few years many language researchers have moved to the JVM as the delivery vehicle for their languages. Although the JVM is a great target for the Java programming language, it is not necessarily a good platform for other languages, especially languages that require semantic features that do not appear in Java . In this paper we compare the JVM with the new Microsoft .NET Common Lang...

Virtual Machines provide a runtime execution platform combining bytecode portability with a performance close to native code. An overview of current approaches precedes an insight into Microsoft CLR (Common Language Runtime), comparing it to Sun JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and to a native execution environment (IA 32). A reference is also made to CLR in a Unix platform and to techniques on how C...
