BUG: Temporary Files Not Deleted When Using /Fs Switch |
Q119521
1.00 1.50 WINDOWS kbtool kbbuglist ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE) included with: - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0 and 1.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When compiling a program using the /Fs switch, two temporary files are left behind. The files names are of the form: xxxxxxLP and xxxxxxER where each 'x' is a decimal digit. RESOLUTION ========== At this time, the only known work-around is to avoid the use of the /Fs switch. If this is not an option, it is recommended that the files in the directory that the TMP environment variable refers to be periodically deleted. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. This is not a problem in Visual C++ 32-bit Edition. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following command reproduces the problem: cl /Fs hello.c will re-produce this problem. If a RAM disk is being used, it may run out of directory entries. If there are no errors during the compilation the files will be of zero length otherwise the left-over files will not be of zero length.
