3 # The jobs may produce long lines of output. A practical case are the echoed
4 # command lines from compiler invocations, with their many -D options.
5 #
6 # Each of these lines must be written atomically to the actual output.
7 # The markers for switching jobs must always be written at the beginning of
8 # the line, to make them clearly visible in large log files.
9 #
10 # As of 2020-09-27, the default job buffer size is 1024. When a job produces
11 # output lines that are longer than this buffer size, these output pieces are
12 # not terminated by a newline. Because of this missing newline, the job
13 # markers "--- job-a ---" and "--- job-b ---" are not always written at the
14 # beginning of a line, even though this is expected by anyone reading the log
15 # files.
