My compile ended.. ;-). But i am a happy camper now that i turned off
"predictive compilation".

If you find the process is called 'cc1objplus', then I believe it's
choking on certain kinds of syntax errors (usually missing or
mismatched end-brackets/braces/parens); it outputs the error string
over and over and over again into the build output file (ktrace is
invaluable here). I noticed it after it had used up 42GB of disk
space in 83-byte chunks, and reduced the problem to a 10-line file
that I sent to Apple in a bug I reported about three months ago.
I found that I can tell it happens because the compile doesn't seem
to end, so I hit the "End Tasks" button. That *seems* to stop the
compile... but it really doesn't, the process is still going.
Usually you can tell that the computer is a little sluggish all of
a sudden. I use `top -u` to check the tasks, and if cc1objplus is
still running I kill it. That has worked for me so far.

PS. If you find the process is something else, submit a bug to Apple.

I did have "predictive compilation" turned on. i have since turned
it off and i haven't seen the file recreated. I was getting
recreated every compile. I'll try to nail down the process that is
hanging later tonight.

Do you have "predictive compilation" turned on (it's in the
Building Preference Pane)? That could be going crazy. If
predictive compilation is not on, then all the build steps should
show up in the Detailed Build Log, and you might be able to match
up the process that's going bad, and the particular build steps
(for instance, ps -auwwx should show you the full command line,
and you can match that up.)
In any case, if you can find the process killing which actually
removed the file, the result of "ps -auwwx" on that process would
be interesting to the build guys here, I am sure.

This happens to me about once every long coding session and
unfortunately I am only made aware of it when the Finder gives
me a message telling me that my drive is full. I havn't done a
lot of sleuthing to find the cause of it because it is very hard
to reproduce, but in my case it has always been the i686
compiler and assembler set of processes. I only started seeing
this problem when I starting compiling my stuff for both PPC and
Intel. Also, I am coding in Objective-C exclusively and do not
use any C++ features (I even turn them off in the compile
options) but I am however using .mm files which are run through
the Objective-C++ compiler.

I've seen that and in my case it was a runaway process that was
endlessly trying to compile a file. I killed the process
(ccsomething) and deleted the .o file.

Ok I am using XCode 2.1 and i have an object file named
HDMVLayerNode.o~> its is 25.8 gigs and growing as long as
XCode is running has anyone seen this problem? Does it exist
in 2.2? I just created this Objective C++. This is the first
time I have seen this.
