It was my understanding the ridiculous and historic COMPlus name had been replaced with just DOTNET several years ago.
- pjc50 2y agoDeeper horror: > I got closer to the goal when I realized an interesting quirk: .NET supports environment variables prefixed by either DOTNET_ or COMPlus_, whereas NativeAOT only supports DOTNET_. So if we set COMPlus_GCName=ManagedDotnetGC.dll, only the .NET runtime will pick it up, and the NativeAOT runtime will ignore it.
- pjmlp 2y agoIt is rather hard to name environment variables as COM+.
- MortyWaves 2y agoSo why wasn’t it named DOTNET? My point is that the COMPlus name was about 10 years out of date after Core.
- pjmlp 2y agoMost likely because it predates it, COM+ Runtime is on the genesis of .NET, originally designed with J++ in mind, and backwards compatibility.
