This is really strange.
In my XcodeIntermediateFiles, I see a file called:
PaletteController.o~>
This file is currently at ~92 GB and growing every second.
I also see two other related files:
PaletteController.o
PaletteController.o~?
I have been working on the source file for these .o's and simply
cannot explain why Xcode doesn't want to give up writing an ever
increasing amount of information to PaletteController.o~>.
I am using Distributed Builds, if that matters.
Restarting my machine seems to fix the problem for awhile, but it
quickly returns.
Anyone have any thoughts or comments?
Could you see whether Preferences > Building > Build Options > Use
Predictive Compilation is checked?
It is checked.
If it is, does unchecking it cease the constant growth? Does
turning off distributed builds help at all? If you hexdump the huge
file, what's inside it?
Unfortunately, since I have to get some real work done, I restarted my
machine. When (probably not if) the problem comes back, I will do this
investigation.
The only process by which a .o file is created is by compiling
source to object, and we don't know of a way to write a source file
that creates an object file of unbounded size. But we're eager to
learn, so if you could file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com
and attach the source file for PaletteController we'd be interested.
When it come back and I have something more to report, I will file the
bug.
Please don't attach the ninety-two-gigabyte object file.
awwwww... ;-)
(Don't think I ever even would have remotely considered doing such an
evil thing unless it was explicitly requested.)
