#13489: openTempFile fails when the template parameter contain a path separator -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harendra | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Poor/confusing | Unknown/Multiple error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I don't think we want to create any directories in `openTempFile`. Afterall, it would then be unclear whether the user should cleanup the parent directories or just the file. Consequently, I think the right solution here is to simply disallow path separators in the template: if the user wants to specify a directory component then they can provide it in the first argument. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13489#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
