In combination with changes to semgrep-proprietary, this produces a speedup for interfile runs that use both intrafile and interfile rules. Instead of running both the intrafile and interfile rules with
-j 1
, it runs first the intrafile rules with the default number of jobs, and then the interfile rules with a single job. This conserves memory for the interfile rules while allowing the intrafile rules to benefit from multiprocessing.TODO: we can remove the supply chain hack that disables interfile when possible to get multiprocessing
Test plan: see corresponding semgrep-proprietary PR
