Description
Issue Description
While running the benchmarks for -mt mode, I've noticed an occassional crash.
It is caused by error MSB4061: The "CombineTargetFrameworkInfoProperties" task could not be instantiated
and I suspect there is some contention happening during the task initialization.
Steps to Reproduce
Run the test script to repeatedly build the framework project.
Most of the time, the build will proceed normally, however once in a while, it will crash due to MSB4061
=== FINAL SUMMARY ===
Total iterations: 200
Successful builds: 197
Failed builds: 3
Clean failures: 0
Success rate: 98.5%
Total duration: 7 minutes
Average time per iteration: 2.1 seconds
Test script:
MSBuildLoopTest.zip
Binlog:
bl147.zip
Repro project:
framework_project.zip
Expected Behavior
The build doesn't fail and task get instantiated normally.
Actual Behavior
MSB4061 causing build failure
Analysis
My current theory is that two threads attempt to instantiate the same task and run into each other, causing one of them to fail.
