Also, have I missed something?

Maybe. Check out: * -dynamic * -dynamic-too * -dyno * -dynosuf * Should intermediate files also get deleted when using `--cleanup` to create shared libraries (https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.3/docs/html/users_guide/using- shared-libs.html)? * What happens on compilation failures. Say `A.hs` contains a syntax error, and imports `B.hs`. When running `ghc --cleanup A.hs`, `B.hs` gets compiled first, creating `B.hi` and `B.o`. Then `A.hs` fails to compile, because of the syntax error. Should `B.hi` and `B.o` get deleted? * Is `ghc --make --cleanup` allowed? Maybe the command line interface should be something like `ghc --make -cleanup` (so `-cleanup` would not be a mode flag, but a regular flag, just like for example `-keep-tmp-files` and `-outputdir`.). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2258#comment:27 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
