C#: Implement correct behavior for dotnet build tracing
#9705
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
For proper C# tracing, `dotnet build` needs the parameter /p:UseSharedCompilation=false. However, we can't pass that to the other subcommands of `dotnet`, therefore we need to figure out which subcommand of `dotnet` is being invoked.

| -- we are interested in dotnet build, which has the following usage instructions: | ||
| -- dotnet [options] build [<PROJECT | SOLUTION>...] | ||
| -- however, `dotnet -h build`, although documented, does not work | ||
| -- For now, parse the command line as follows: | ||
| -- Everything that starts with `-` will be ignored. | ||
| -- The first non-option argument is treated as the command. | ||
| -- if that's `build`, we append `/p:UseSharedCompilation=false` to the command line, | ||
| -- otherwise we do nothing. |

Passing -d before the build command works. But I think ignoring everything that starts with- is correct and will handle this case too.

This line could also state that anything prefixed / will be ignored.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

For proper C# tracing,
dotnet buildneeds the parameter/p:UseSharedCompilation=false. However, we can't pass that to the othersubcommands of
dotnet, therefore we need to figure out which subcommandof
