Hi,
Suppose, I started to build something with gcc and I find
out I want to terminate the compilation before
it has ended. Is there any risc by sending
the SIGTERM or SIGINT to the gcc?
By that I mean, is there any risc that
gcc could have been interrupted when
writing to an object file. Which then
would confuse "make" to believe
that the newer erraneously built object file
is ok and will not have to be build the
next time "make" is executed?
ps. I have never had problems with this
but I'm curious at how this is handled
in gcc. ds.
regards
Erik Sjölund
