APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The '-#' option is designed to output to stdout the compile
steps to be executed - but does not execute them.  The output
should match -V verbose style output.

However, when using -#, the XLC compiler driver is creating
actual temporary files in /tmp.  Nothing is written to them; all
files are 0 bytes, however this uses inodes in the file system.

Local fix

  • None.  Do not use -#.

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Usage of the -# option results in temporary file remaining in
/tmp after the XLC compiler process finishes.

USERS AFFECTED:
Those using -# to previous compile steps.

Problem conclusion

  • The temporary file creation process was modified to avoid
leaving the files in /tmp.  A new directory is created in /tmp
instead, but the files are now never generated when -# is used.

Temporary fix
