Description

See https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/pull/3106#discussion_r176604238

Currently, in .NET Core, MSBuild will find all processes running in the dotnet host and attempt to connect to them as though they were MSBuilds. That shouldn't interfere with the other processes unless they have a named pipe named MSBuild{pid}, but it takes time during the node-connection process.

We should explore narrowing down the candidate processes beforehand. We could for example examine process command lines for /nodereuse:true and/or MSBuild.dll.

Questions that need to be answered:

  • How can this be done at all? AFAIK, there's no unified .NET API to get command lines of other processes on all platforms, so it might have to be platform-specific.
  • Is this faster than the current approach? Examining command lines will take some time.
