This commit changes the compilation command from one command compiles one c file to one command compile multiple c files. That change reduces the compilation time for MSVC toolchain but it increases the length of one compilation command line. Since the build tool can autosave the FLAGS and INC to the response file if the command line length larger than --cmd-len, there is no problem for normal build usage.

Understood -- the build tool would not consider the user-originated
prefix. The build tool would decide that the command is safe to start
without using a response file, but the prefix would break that.

I have two questions regarding this:
(a) wouldn't it be better to calculate the length of the user-originated
prefix (such as the length of "<path_to_other_tool>/tool.py"), and
simply include it in the sum that is then checked against "--cmd-len"?
(b) regarding the present patch, do we use the separate response file
(which stores the C file names) *only* if there are multiple C files
passed to the compiler? (This seems to be confirmed by the commit message.)
I'm asking (b) because, as I understand, the multi-C-file trick is
specific to MSVC in the first place, so this further tweak should *also*
be specific to MSVC. (With GCC, there is never more than 1 C file on a
gcc command line, so the separate response file should never be used.)

Thanks.
One more comment below, regarding the commit message:

I don't understand two expressions here:
(a) "On the contrary".
Is this an attempt to describe the current (= incorrect) behavior?
(b) "limited length Documents".
I have no idea what this means.

> But, at least superficially, the diffstat and the patch body seem to be more generic. What I really care about is that the gcc command lines should not change. It's annoying to look at a build log and see references to "cc_resp" text files, rather than the actual command lines. My build scripts use "--cmd-len=65536" for that reason -- is this patch going to keep that functional?
