Hi,

I played around with some c-macros in xCode which were supposed to hardcode loops.
e.g. something like "repeatFunc(a) (a;a;a;a)"
Inadvertently, I created a slightly too large "loop" which caused the compiler to
create several GB of data and my computer to crash as it didn't have any more
space on the start-up volume...
Now, after a restart, I can't find those huge files eating up all my HD space...
The project folder itself doesn't seem to contain any of them.


Where does xCode usually create "temporary" files like those?

Thanks in advance
Falko
The problem might have nothing to do with your macros. I have a 250 Gigabyte hard drive with only about 20 Gigabytes used. One time when I build a project with Xcode, for some reason it create a file that was around 230 Gigabytes that fill up the rest of my hard drive. I tracked the file. It was an intermediate build file created in a subdirectory under the build director for the project
