Yes, I've been torn about this. On Windows I made measurable build
speed improvements some years ago by minimizing the extra shell
invocations for compile commands, so I didn't like the idea of
introducing an unconditional extra shell. Another option could be to
scan the input for '[<>]' in ExecuteWithLog and only add it if found.
It will certainly make the ExecuteWithLog body convoluted but may be a
better solution.
Yes, that might be best. If we write a support function
AddSubshellIfNeeded or so, and wrap the command line in it, it might be
okay-ish. :)
I filed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8233115 to keep track
of this.
