See official dotnet/runtime README.md.
Pass the following flags to the build.cmd or build.sh file depending on the target platform:
-s clr+libs+clr.hosts -lc Release -rc Debug
Construct the CORE_ROOT environment, including the corerun testing binary:
Windows:
src\tests\build.cmd x64 Debug CoreCLR GenerateLayoutOnly /p:LibrariesConfiguration=Release
Linux/macOS:
./src/tests/build.sh arm64 Debug CoreCLR GenerateLayoutOnly -p:LibrariesConfiguration=Release
The corerun binary accepts a dotenv file format. The following environment variables are recommended to run the interpreter.
The following environment variables can be pasted into a file and passed to the corerun binary using the -e flag.
DOTNET_TieredCompilation=0
DOTNET_ReadyToRun=0
DOTNET_InterpreterDoLoopMethods=1
DOTNET_InterpreterFallback=0
DOTNET_ForceInterpreter=1
DOTNET_InterpreterUseCaching=0
DOTNET_InterpreterHWIntrinsicsIsSupportedFalse=1
The following are helpful in debugging hangs and the "current state" of the interpreter.
DOTNET_TraceInterpreterEntries=1
DOTNET_TraceInterpreterIL=1
Many verification steps assume the following is disabled.
DOTNET_InterpreterLooseRules=0
After building CoreCLR, the following can be executed:
.\artifacts\bin\coreclr\windows.x64.Debug\ilasm.exe /EXE /OUTPUT=.\artifacts\tmp\App.dll App.il
