MSBuild caching #1021

Closed adamralph closed 4 weeks ago

adamralph commented 1 month ago

With this change, the version is calculated once (per thread used by the SDK) and then cached.

For solutions with many projects, this can significantly reduce build time.

@bording what do you think of this as a lightweight alternative to #989?

I was thinking it would be nice if MSBuild exposed tasks which could read and write from the build cache, so I went ahead and wrote those tasks. I could even see those potentially being contributed to MSBuild.

FWIW, I tested this with https://github.com/Particular/ServiceControl, and a single threaded build went from 43 seconds to 24 seconds.

@bording I've released this in 5.1.0-rc.1—please feel free to give it a try.

re-released as 6.0.0-rc.1 because the next release contains at least one breaking change
