As of 2016, unlink takes 250 // milliseconds to remove a 1 GB file on ext4 filesystem on my machine. // // To create a new result file, we first remove existing file. So, if // you repeatedly link a 1 GB program in a regular compile-link-debug // cycle, every cycle wastes 250 milliseconds only to remove a file. // Since LLD can link a 1 GB binary in about 5 seconds, that waste // actually counts. // // This function spawns a background thread to remove the file. // The calling thread returns almost immediately. void lld::unlinkAsync(StringRef path) { // Removing a file is async on windows. #if defined(_WIN32) sys::fs::remove(path); #else if (!threadsEnabled || !sys::fs::exists(path) || !sys::fs::is_regular_file(path)) return; // We cannot just remove path from a different thread because we are now going // to create path as a new file. // Instead we open the file and unlink it on this thread.
