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? 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?
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.
While it took awhile for this problem to reappear, it finally did
appear again.
It was with a different file. The huge file seems to contain a bunch
of compile errors and nothing else. Although, I was not compiling at
the time the file decided to devour all of my drive space.
The file ends with .o~>
Under what conditions are files written which end with ~> ? Are files
ending with ~> what Predictive Compilation writes?
I have filed a bug - rdar://6495332
Unfortunately, I didn't notice the problem in time to try to turn off
Predictive Compilation to see if that fixes the problem. If it happens
again soon, I will try to spot it in time.
