Is this a common practice? I ask because the approach makes sense, but I don’t recall ever seeing it before.

- toast0 3y agoYeah, I've seen it done, and I use it when needed. Many/most compilers won't touch the output file until they've done a syntax check so they don't usually need it, but if you're redirecting something from stdout, you'll have a blank file often as you develop, and quickly realize the benefit of temp files.
