A Runtime Support System is provided by the runtime environment (RTE) of a programming language or an operating system. This environment includes a collection of software services that are required when a program is running, even though they might not be visible to the programmer. These services can include:
- Memory management (dynamic allocation and deallocation)
- Input/output operations
- Handling system-level errors and signals
- Thread and process management
- Garbage collection (in languages that support it, like Java)
- Security and permissions checks - Interacting with the underlying operating system
The runtime support system is essential for the execution of applications and is responsible for properly executing the code, providing a layer that abstracts the complexities of hardware and low-level operations.
