#10986: GHC should delete all temporary files it creates in /tmp -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: 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 rwbarton): Nontermination is also a problem for `runghc`, and probably a more common scenario. {{{ rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ rm -rf ghc* rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ cat loop.hs main = main rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ runghc loop.hs ^C rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ echo ghc* ghc31647_0 }}} In `ghc -e`/`runghc`, perhaps it would be possible to clean up the temporary directory before executing the expression/program. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10986#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
