digitalmars.D.learn - name of map file
- Andrej Mitrovic (2/2) Sep 12 2010 Just a quick question, why does the map file have a long name like so:
- Nick Sabalausky (10/12) Sep 12 2010 Because you're using rdmd and not using -of.
- Andrej Mitrovic (9/22) Sep 12 2010 Yeah but using -of creates an executable in the directory I provide.

Just a quick question, why does the map file have a long name like so: file_test-d-40DA973DB4C6AD075993AB5CD9866DDE.map ?

And dmd always uses the executable filename as the name of the map file (which makes sense when you consider executables made from multiple modules). If you use -of, or if you just use dmd directly, then that hash value doesn't get added.

Yeah but using -of creates an executable in the directory I provide. RDMD is supossed to be used with hiding the executable in a temp dir, afaik. So it's hashing at play, ok. Just wanted to know why. Personally I'd like RDMD to hide the map and deps files as well, I don't know why it only hides the executable and leaves the rest of the trash behind. (okay it's not trash, but for quick compile-test cycles I don't need the map and dependancy files).

Hello Andrej,Yeah but using -of creates an executable in the directory I provide. RDMD is supossed to be used with hiding the executable in a temp dir, afaik. So it's hashing at play, ok. Just wanted to know why. Personally I'd like RDMD to hide the map and deps files as well, I don't know why it only hides the executable and leaves the rest of the trash behind. (okay it's not trash, but for quick compile-test cycles I don't need the map and dependancy files).Hinding the exe isn't the point, having files act like scripts is. Putting the exes in some other common place allows better caching.On Sun, Sep 12, 2010 at 10:29 PM, Nick Sabalausky <a a.a> wrote:-- ... <IXOYE><"Andrej Mitrovic" <none none.none> wrote in message news:i6jc5g$1p2a$1 digitalmars.com...Just a quick question, why does the map file have a long name like so: file_test-d-40DA973DB4C6AD075993AB5CD9866DDE.map ?Because you're using rdmd and not using -of. rdmd comes up with an executable filename by hashing the source file's content (I'm not 100% sure why, something about filename-uniqueness or caching and change-tracking, I'd imagine).

xfbuild has racing problems, according to its creator. He recommended me to force xfbuild to use only one thread. I had issues where it's output would quite literally come out in an alien language. When there are problems I have to re-run xfbuild several times until it finally builds properly. I wonder if this issue is caused by D1's shared-by-default state.
