.lock files left behind in PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY #38

Closed anthonybakermpls closed 9 years ago

anthonybakermpls commented 9 years ago

After a perl script builds inline CPP, a .lock file is left over in the PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY under the username of the running user. This prevents subsequent runs by other users who share the same PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY and cannot delete the lock file left over. We are seeing this on Red hat linux with perl version 5.20.2, inline:CPP version 0.71, Inline::C 0.74. The Inline CPP folks are directing me to Inline and/or Inline::C. See https://github.com/daoswald/Inline-CPP/issues/29 . The issue goes away after removing file locking code in Inline::CPP - CPP.pm lines 681,682 even though no lock file with a .lock signature is being created at that point (from David's investigation/understanding).

Bah, sorry meant to submit to Inline. I don't know if this is Inline or Inline::C at this point.

@anthonybakermpls, not to say this is your problem to fix, but if you do a search in Inline's lib/Inline.pm, you'll find calls to flock(). Can you experiment with those?
