WampServer

Wampserver - 3.3.0 64bit

c:\wam64\tmp - drive space filling up with *.grind (CGRIND) extension files - approx 60MB of date per minute

file name starts trace.**.cgrind

I am unable to idendify what it might be or even how to prevent temp files within Wampserver to stop

any asistance is appreciated

thank you

Actually I also have a few of these in the `wamp64\tmp` folder.

They are created by XDEBUG, but they are only supposed to be created if the `profile` option is added to the

xdebug.mode =develop, debug

If you want to profile then you woudl add it to the list

xdebug.mode =develop, debug, profile

I am not quite sure yet why they are being generated as I do not have the `profile` option set but I am sure when Oto reads this, the penny will drop and he will remember something that will help you.

The good news If you dont want them you can quite happily delete then, but better do that when the server is stopped

Hi,

I discover this problem of generation of *.cgrind files which I had not paid attention before!

If:

xdebug.mode = off

there is no creation of *.cgrind
but if

xdebug.mode = develop

which is the default value, it has creation of these files whereas the Xdebug documentation for the profile mode specifies that these files are generated only if

xdebug.mode = profile

See Xdebug profiler documentation

I will report the problem on the Xdebug site.

By switching xdebug.mode to off there is no more creation of these files.

Hi,

I found a similar problem in the Xdebug bug list:
2144 : Xdebug 3.2.0 ignores xdebug.mode and enables all features

Hi,

- update xDebug 3.2.1

Xdebug 3.2.1 is only intended for PHP version 8.0.x to 8.2.x 64bit only and should not be installed on older versions.

This is a bug fix release that mainly fixes issues with Xdebug's mode setting in threaded environments, where Xdebug would ignore the value and always enabled everything. This release also addresses a crash which occurs when you try to set a standard php.ini setting which has been deprecated.

Update xDebug 3.2.1 64 bit
