Summary

When logging with binary logger, a section of the binlog is dedicated to storing Detail Summary. The Detail Summary is an ascii graph representing the build timeline. However, it is possible to reconstruct the graph with greater fidelity.

Background and Motivation

Size msbuild.exe /bl msbuild.exe /bl /ds:false difference
Mid size solution 34,910,977 bytes 33,710,811 bytes 3% reduction
Large size solution 94,076,308 bytes 87,592,988 bytes 7.4% reduction

In our CI system, the binary logs are kept for a long time so the total space saving can easily add up.

Proposed Feature

When using the switch /bl, it will enable Detail Summary by default. The propose change is to set the behavior to be off by default.
