#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 thomie): This bug might depend on the platform you are on or the version of `gcc` you are using. For me, on Ubuntu (gcc 4.8.4) with HEAD, running 'make TEST=cabal01' creates the files you mentioned, but they get deleted before the test finishes. On msys2 Window (gcc 4.6.3) with HEAD, the following files are left behind in `/tmp`: {{{ -rwxr-xr-x 1 ghc None 126940 Oct 19 10:25 570528145.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 ghc None 4729 Oct 19 10:26 ccgHM4XN -rw-r--r-- 1 ghc None 4729 Oct 19 10:26 ccqNwUwz -rw-r--r-- 1 ghc None 5874 Oct 19 10:25 ccysdfeq }}} I don't see any panics occuring. Running the same test on Windows with `TEST_HC=ghc-7.8.3` only leaves behind that `.exe` file, not the `ccXXXXXX` files. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10986#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
