bug: babel-* dirs

bug: babel-* dirs

[Samuel Wales]

In the last 24 hours, org created 436 seemingly empty directories
named similar to "babel-81922AX" in (I think) $TMP.  I do not actively
use babel.

I cannot do debugging but wanted to report it.

Hope it helps.

I can confirm this behaviour.

I have some babel-XXXXXX folders, not many, but yesterday I had to close 
emacs by individually killing each buffer rather than C-x C-c as emacs 
complained about not being able to find one of the folders it expected. I 
do not use babel and do not have any settings for it.

Hi,

I've temporarily removed the use of the org-babel-temp-directory due to
this problem, and other issues it is causing on shutdown with older
versions of Emacs.

I will revisit this issue next week when I'm back from vacation and have
time to work out a full solution.

Thanks for the reports -- Eric

Hi,

I've re-enabled this functionality, I believe the problems should be
fixed, from the commit message...

Byte compile warns:

In org-babel-temp-file:
ob.el:1792:36:Warning: reference to free variable
    `org-babel-temporary-directory'

In addition, byte-compiling produces 173 empty /tmp/babel-* directories.

The newly installed version does not produce a temporary directory (I'm
not using babel yet), but calling up emacs like make does (extending the
load-path and not sourcing the site-file) will produce one that does not
go away after Emacs is closed on each start of emacs (which explains the
result of byte-compiling).

Fixed the byte-compilation warning, thanks for the catch.

Thanks for the debugging information, it's great to finally have enough
context to address this issue.  I've just pushed up what I hope is a fix
for this.

Glad to be of service -- I can confirm both fixes, byte-compile now runs
cleanly and without cluttering /tmp.
