The terminology runtime verification was formally introduced as the name of a 2001 workshop [2] aimed at addressing problems at the boundary between formal verification and testing. For large code bases, manually writing test cases turns out to be very time consuming. In addition, not all errors can be detected during development.
JavaScript engines are typically developed by web browser vendors, and every major browser has one. In a browser, the JavaScript engine runs in concert with the rendering engine via the Document Object Model and Web IDL bindings. [2] However, the use of JavaScript engines is not limited to browsers; for example, the V8 engine is a core ...
Self-modifying code can involve overwriting existing instructions or generating new code at run time and transferring control to that code. Self-modification can be used as an alternative to the method of "flag setting" and conditional program branching, used primarily to reduce the number of times a condition needs to be tested.
In other words, from boot until power-down, the entire OS is dedicated to only the application(s) running within that runtime environment. Any other code that tries to run, or any failures in the application(s), will break the runtime environment. Breaking the runtime environment in turn breaks the OS, stopping all processing and requiring a ...
A distinctive feature of the engine is that it JIT compiles scripts on a separate CPU core, parallel to the web browser. [1] [2] Though Microsoft has in the past pointed out that other elements, such as rendering and marshalling, are just as important for a browser's overall performance, [3] their improvements to the engine were in response to evolving competing browsers, compared to which IE8 ...
This security is implemented through the claimInterface() function. This is an OS supported function, and ensures that only a single execution instance can have user space or kernel space driver access to the device, preventing malicious code on a web page from opening a second channel of communication to the device.

TurboFan compiles this bytecode into machine code. In other words, V8 compiles ECMAScript directly to native machine code using just-in-time compilation before executing it. [18] The compiled code is additionally optimized (and re-optimized) dynamically at runtime, based on heuristics of the code's execution profile.
