Just-In-Time(JIT)

Compiler and Base


Class Library
Compile Time and Runtime
Just-In-Time(JIT) Compiler in .NET

• Just-In-Time compiler(JIT) is a part of


Common Language Runtime (CLR) in .NET which is
responsible for managing the execution
of .NET programs regardless of
any .NET programming language.
• A language-specific compiler converts the source
code to the intermediate language.
• This intermediate language is then converted into
the machine code by the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler.
• This machine code is specific to the computer
environment that the JIT compiler runs on.
Just-In-Time(JIT) Compiler in .NET
• The JIT compiler is an important element of
CLR, which loads MSIL on target machines for
execution.
• The MSIL is stored in .NET assemblies after the
developer has compiled the code written in any
.NET-compliant programming language, such as
Visual Basic and C#.
• The JIT compiler is required to speed up the
code execution and provide support for
multiple platforms.
Working of JIT Compiler
Working of JIT Compiler
• The JIT compiler converts the Microsoft Intermediate
Language(MSIL) or Common Intermediate Language(CIL) into
the machine code.
• This is done before the MSIL or CIL can be executed.
• The MSIL is converted into machine code on a requirement
basis i.e. the JIT compiler compiles the MSIL or CIL as required
rather than the whole of it.
• The compiled MSIL or CIL is stored so that it is available for
subsequent calls if required.
There are 3 types of JIT compilers

• Pre-JIT Compiler: All the source code is compiled into the


machine code at the same time in a single compilation cycle
using the Pre-JIT Compiler.
• This compilation process is performed at application deployment
time. And this compiler is always implemented in the Ngen.exe
(Native Image Generator).
• The Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) is a tool that improves
the performance of managed applications. Ngen.exe creates
native images, which are files containing compiled processor-
specific machine code, and installs them into the native image
cache on the local computer
Pre-JIT compiler
Econo JIT Compiler
• Econo JIT Compiler:
• Only the source code methods that are required at run-time
are compiled into machine code by the Econo JIT Compiler.
• After these methods are not required anymore, then they are
removed.

Normal JIT Compiler
• Normal JIT Compiler:
• The source code methods that are required at run-time are
compiled into machine code the first time they are called by the
Normal JIT Compiler.
• After that, they are stored in the cache and used whenever they
are called again.

Advantages of JIT Compiler
• The JIT compiler requires less memory usage as only the
methods that are required at run-time are compiled into
machine code by the JIT Compiler.
• Page faults are reduced by using the JIT compiler as the methods
required together are most probably in the same memory page.
• Code optimization based on statistical analysis can be
performed by the JIT compiler while the code is running.
Disadvantages of JIT compiler:
• The JIT compiler requires more startup time while the
application is executed initially.
• The cache memory is heavily used by the JIT compiler to store
the source code methods that are required at run-time
Base Class Library
• .NET Framework Class Library is the collection of
classes, namespaces, interfaces and value types that
are used for .NET applications.
• It contains thousands of classes that supports the
following functions.
• Base and user-defined data types
• Support for exceptions handling
• input/output and stream operations
• Communications with the underlying system
• Access to data
• Ability to create Windows-based GUI applications
• Ability to create web-client and server applications
• Support for creating web services
