Authored code may include a notification that no tolerance for failure or corruption is expected for an identified sub-set of the code. Any potential failure point, which may be induced by a runtime environment routine or sub-routine, that is associated with the identified sub-set of code may then be identified and hoisted to a point apart from the identified sub-set of code.

Constrained execution regions

Reliability contracts declare an intent of executable code, and may be associated with at least a portion of the executable code. The intent of the executable code in the face of particular conditions may be declared for the use in any one of a programming, execution, or testing environment.

Reliability contracts

Deterministic code execution may be recovered for programs or portions thereof by implementing a programmable policy on a system host to escalate the scope of a code discard based on various parameters.

Execution recovery escalation policy

Systems and methods for enhanced runtime hosting are described. In one aspect the runtime hosting interface includes a host abstraction interface. The HAI allowing the runtime to configure host execution environment parameters and/or notify the host of a runtime event. In particular, the host abstraction interface (HAI) corresponds to execution environment abstractions supported by a host application. Responsive to an action or event, the runtime invokes an identified HAI or an associated object during execution of runtime managed code.

Runtime hosting interfaces

Systems and methods for enhanced runtime hosting are described. In one respect, the runtime identifies any abstraction interface(s) exposed by a host application. The abstraction interface(s) correspond to respective execution environment functionality implemented by the hosting application. During execution of runtime managed code and responsive to an action or event associated with an identified one of the respective execution environment abstractions, the runtime calls a specific interface or object corresponding to a specific one of the abstraction interface(s). This allows the host application to customize/enhance its execution environment, which includes the runtime, as a function of the implemented abstraction(s).
