the removal of directories. Using std::remove is indiscriminate and can lead to the removal of things like /dev/null if run as root. The Path::eraseFromDisk method ensures that we only ever remove regular files or directories, but never character or block special nodes. This should clear up the problem with usage like: llvm-as -o /dev/null which is used in the llvm-test makefiles. llvm-svn: 29540
llvm/lib/System/Unix README =========================== This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory structure underneath this directory could look like this: Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3 subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
