Post by: Marcel on July 31, 2021, 05:36:48 PM

Will the next beta have a fix for the javac command line length problem?

That should be in for the next build.  I'll update this thread if that changes.

Fixed for the next build.  My memory wasn't completely wrong, there was already some code for putting the files in a @argList at a certain limit, but it's hard to tell from the Build output, as it always logged it to the Build window as using the long form.  I changed that as part of the fix so you can see the real command line that's being run.

Thanks Patrick.
Would it be possible to add a debug flag to retain the temp files (arglists, batchfiles) to make it easier to track down build and debug-session problems?

There's a -keeptempfiles option for vsbuild, I'll double check and make sure we honor that for the argument files.
