Stop shipping the long-name DAC as part of the Windows shared framework #36675

Open jkoritzinsky opened 4 years ago

The long-name DAC is not needed at runtime. As part of our contract with WinDBG, we need to upload CoreCLR and the DAC together in a package so they can be indexed by the symbol server. If possible, we should ship them in a separate package (probably one similar to the package for the cross-os DAC in #33528) and not bundle the long-name DAC in the shared framework to reduce shared framework size.

Wait let me guess DAC is Debug Assembly Cache?

jkoritzinsky commented 4 years ago

The DAC is the Debug Access Component. It's the interface between a debugger and the runtime.
