wish: a way to keep cgo related generated files. #697

Open bstarynk opened 7 years ago

bstarynk commented 7 years ago

It would be nice to have some documented way to keep the cgo related generated (C) files. I am a newbie, and had hard time to understand some strange gcc errors (in my sqlitelog.go file) because I mis-coded a cgo comment.

Perhaps accepting a directory keeping the generated files, e.g. #cgo keep-generated-directory: /tmp/thedirectory would put all generated files in /tmp/thedirectory/

or maybe a documented flag to gb build such as gb build -keep-temp /tmp/thedirectory

Thanks.

I think there is a -work flag, or similar which will not delete temporary directories after the build runs.
