. NET Internals Cookbook

Book excerpt: Understand .NET memory structure, multi-threading and garbage collection internals to avoid performance problems and interoperability issues. Even though CLR hides low level complexity under the hood, there are multiple advantages of understanding internals to improve software performance, decrease memory usage and analyze issues faster..NET Internals Cookbook contains almost one hundred questions about various .NET internals, answered with both C# code and its IL counterpart, machine code and WinDBG debugging sessions. It contains references to books, blog posts and articles covering specific scenarios in detail. You will learn* Internals of memory structure, garbage collection algorithms and multi-threading mechanisms* Debugging using WinDBG* Analyzing IL and machine codeThis book is for .NET developers, performance engineers and programmers interested in low level details of the platform.
