Linking liblagom-web.so produces a ~132K long command line. Ninja passes the whole command line as a single arg to
sh -c <arg>
, and the limit for single arguments (MAX_ARG_STRLEN
) on Linux isPAGE_SIZE * 32
== 128K.A response file passes the list of files in a file on disk, which lets us sidestep this problem. Ninja writes response files before invoking commands, and deletes them after (unless
-d keeprsp
is passed to ninja, then it keeps them on disk).
