#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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by erikd: Old description:
GHC creates large numbers of temporary files in /tmp. These would normally get cleaned up when the machine is rebooted, but for things like Jenkins build machines that don't get rebooted often they buld up pretty quickly. The /tmp on my Jenkins build machine currently has over 200k files and directories, but only about 40 of them are non-GHC related files.
Under normal operation, GHC should delete all temporary files it creates.
