Improve build byproduct disk usage #370

Closed tom-seddon closed 1 day ago

tom-seddon commented 2 months ago

Noticed on Windows inside build/vs2019:

4.3 GB .vs folder, bit much but possibly unavoidable
11.2 GB src/beeb folder!!! - the tests really add up, since it's endless copies of the same EXEs and PDBs

Better on Linux, but still bloated:

tom-VirtualBox ~/b2/build % du -hcd 0 ./d.linux ./r.linux ./f.linux
3.1G    ./d.linux
3.8G    ./r.linux
774M    ./f.linux
7.6G    total

Fixed as of 293682db131e2c4cc3b9882167a85e41a86b90b5. Entire build folder on Windows now more like ~3 GB. I'm sure .vs will grow over time but there's no longer a zillion copies of all the test code.
