Junk files generated after compiling C program-CodePudding

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, and using vscode and Code Runner plugin to run a C program. Code runner is configured as follows:

"code-runner.executorMap":  {
"c":  "cd $dir && gcc -o $fileNameWithoutExt $fileName && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
},

The problem is that every time I run any C program, junk files are created as you can see in the following image:

I would like to know what is happening here.

CodePudding user response：

Since, yesterday vscode C intellisense debuging update (updated automatically to a pre-release 1.9.5), it is doing the same. All junk files are 0bytes in length and are at the workspace root. vscode V1.63.2. ubuntu 20.04lts (up to date) Actual workspace : platformIO Core 5.2.5 / Home 3.4.1 on STM32 arduino firmware. As i program for a micro-controler without any file system, i can conclude for sure that it is not user's code dependent. So only the vscode or platform IO environment could generate such junk files.

Others remark, i have been coded for a week now without compiling, so i am pretty sure (but not certain) that the platformio stm gcc is not part of the problem.
