We already have a function create_directories() which can create an entire tree, and remove() which can remove an empty directory, but we do not have remove_directories() which can remove an entire tree. This patch adds such a function. Because removing a directory tree can have dangerous consequences when the tree contains a directory symlink, the patch here updates the existing directory_iterator construct to optionally not follow symlinks (previously it would always follow symlinks). The delete algorithm uses this flag so that for symlinks, only the links are removed, and not the targets. On Windows this is implemented with SHFileOperation, which also does not recurse into symbolic links or junctions. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D30676 llvm-svn: 297314
llvm/lib/Support/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.
