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.


Turn off "Predictive Compilation" which is causing this (Xcode's trying to compile your source in the background, so getting errors and warnings will be faster when you try it for real, but malformed or "challenging" source can cause it to write to disk endlessly).  

The files are cleaned up automatically, which is you can't find them.
