deno compile --code-cache-path

[felipecrs]

With the new code cache, compiled programs would end up writing to ~/.cache/deno. This may not be desirable. The program may have its own cache directory for example. Also, it would end up creating this directory in systems where Deno isn't even installed, which could lead to end-user confusion. End-users may not even know what is Deno.

One issue with this is it's hard to configure. Maybe the code cache directory should just not have deno in the name.

I just checked and the code cache is written to the temp directory with the application name and not to ~/.cache/deno. #26977 will make this more clear in the future

Oh. What is this then?

❯ deno clean

❯ ./pkgx-cc --sync

❯ ls -la /home/felipecrs/.cache/deno

I see. That's something else. I found the actual cc here:

❯ ls -lah /tmp/deno-compile-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 felipecrs felipecrs 1.8M Nov 21 14:12 /tmp/deno-compile-pkgx-cc.cache

Oh. What is this then?

Those files are created even when using Deno 2.0.6, thus it's indeed unrelated.
