The Common Language Runtime (CLR) in the .NET Framework provides a variety of essential services that facilitate the execution and management of .NET applications. Some of the key services provided by the CLR include:
Memory Management: The CLR includes a garbage collector that automatically handles memory allocation and deallocation, ensuring efficient memory use and preventing memory leaks[1][2][3][4][5].
Type Safety: The CLR enforces type safety through the Common Type System (CTS) and the Common Language Specification (CLS), ensuring that code adheres to defined type rules and preventing type errors[1][5][6].
Security: The CLR provides a security engine that manages code access security, ensuring that code runs with appropriate permissions and protecting against unauthorized access to resources[1][3][4][7].
Exception Handling: The CLR offers a robust exception handling mechanism that allows for consistent handling of runtime errors across different .NET languages[1][2][3][4][5].
Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation: The CLR includes a JIT compiler that converts the intermediate language (IL) code into machine code at runtime, optimizing performance by compiling code as it is needed[1][3][4][5].
Thread Management: The CLR provides support for multithreading, allowing for the parallel execution of code and efficient management of threads[1][5][6].
Debugging and Profiling: The CLR includes tools and interfaces for debugging and profiling applications, helping developers to identify...
