Reading the protocol description, it's not clear whether the builder is allowed to start sending responses to requests in a block before reading the entire block. In other words, can a dumb builder process one request at a time (making sure to duplicate any |;| in the response)?
This line from the description suggests that the answer is probably a "no", but I think stating this explicitly would be a good idea:
The compiler sends a block of one or more requests to the builder, then waits for a block of responses to all of those requests.If the answer is indeed a "no", then that's unfortunate since that makes writing prototype mappers (e.g., as a shell script) a lot harder.
the answer is no.
Perhaps there could be a way to disable batching (e.g., as part of the handshake)?
