#10986: GHC should delete all temporary files it creates in /tmp -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: erikd Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by erikd):
ghc does normally clean up its temporary directory.
On my machines its leaving behind two kins of things: * An normally empty /tmp/ghcNNN_M directory where NNN looks like a process id and M looks like it may be a thread number (0 is most common, followed by 1, 2, 3 etc). When these directories are not empty, they contain things like ghc_ZZ.s, ghc_ZZ.o etc. * A /tmp/ccXXXXXX file which contain what looks like command line options for GCC, one per line. This is probably a result of commit 296bc70b5ff6c. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10986#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
