#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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by gridaphobe): * cc: gridaphobe (added) Comment: I've encountered this recently as well on our ubuntu server (14.04.1). We have gcc-4.8.4 and ghc-7.6.3 installed by default, though with `stack` there's no telling what version people are using (probably 7.10.2). The sheer number of temporary directories left behind by ghc (which is enough to occasionally bring our server to a crawl) suggests that the directories must be left behind even under normal circumstances. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10986#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
