#2234: Profiled binaries create empty files

And deleting it is pointless since it'll just get created. Even worse, this stupid file will appear anywhere I use the profiled darcs (at last count, slocate knew of at least 12 such darcs.prof). And since my system is set up for profiling, it'll only get worse as more and more binaries get built for profiling. I understand from Igloo there's some vague user-friendliness rationale behind GHC's littering, but I'm skeptical that this is really the best way to go about matters. -- gwern -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2234> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@... http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs |
