[msbuild] Show an error if an app tries to link with a static library when building for Hot Restart. #21877
Conversation
… when building for Hot Restart. A fairly common problem is when apps try to use a static library when using Hot Restart on Windows (which isn't supported), and then they're confused when their app doesn't work. Improve this scenario by raising an error if an app tries to link with a static library when building for Hot Restart. Add an escape hatch in case someone still wants to build apps with static libraries using Hot Restart, since there are scenarios where it can be useful (while testing parts of an app that don't require any static libraries for instance).

A fairly common problem is when apps try to use a static library when using
Hot Restart on Windows (which isn't supported), and then they're confused when
their app doesn't work.
Improve this scenario by raising an error if an app tries to link with a
static library when building for Hot Restart.
Add an escape hatch in case someone still wants to build apps with static
libraries using Hot Restart, since there are scenarios where it can be useful
(while testing parts of an app that don't require any static libraries for
