Emacs/CEDET – moving semantic.cache files out of the way

Posted on 2006-04-26 by Marc

If you’re using the CEDET tools which I recently mentioned, then you might come to be annoyed with the semantic.cache files that start littering all of your directories. Luckily there’s a solution:

(setq semanticdb-default-save-directory â€œ~/tmp/semantic.cacheâ€)

I found that after making the change you suggest, emacs would not exit
at all.
I set the path to “/tmp/semantic.cache”
it would fail because it would not find the path “/tmp/semantic.cache/!SOME!FILE!I!CREATE.semantic.cache”

I added this to my .emacs and then emacs would exit cleanly. ‘(semanticdb-persistent-path nil)
