Description
The Common Language Infrastructure Annotated Standard is the definitive guide to understanding the annotated specification for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard. With annotations and code samples from both the ECMA standards committee and the Microsoft Common Language Runtime (CLR) team, this book goes beyond the online documentation to clarify and amplify the original standard and describe its implementation.The core of this book is the international CLI standard. The text describes the CLI and its parts and provides all the information needed to implement a Virtual Execution System (VES) or design a compiler that runs on top of a VES and generates portable code. Author Jim Miller draws upon his experience as editor of the CLI standard and lead of the Microsoft CLR team to guide readers through the CLI blueprint and to a complete understanding of the CLR.Features of this book include: A heavily annotated architectural overview of the standardA description of the semantics of metadata A complete specification of the Portable Executable (PE) file formatCoverage of file format and metadata layoutAn overview of the CLI librariesA detailed description of the Common Inte
Here is the definitive reference and annotated specification for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard. Author Miller draws upon his experience as editor of the CLI standard and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR) team lead to clarify and amplify the original standard and describe its implementation.

Features of this book include:
A heavily annotated architectural overview of the standard
A description of the semantics of metadata
A complete specification of the Portable Executable (PE) file format
Coverage of file format and metadata layout
An overview of the CLI libraries
A detailed description of the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) instruction set
Sample programs and other annexes to the standard
An enhanced online index that allows readers to quickly and easily search the entire text for specific topics
The Common Language Infrastructure Annotated Standard is the single source programmers, language and tool designers, and library and VES developers need to render the CLI and the CLR fully comprehensible.
