cmd/dist: there is a bin/go.exe~ in windows/amd64 zip binary distribution

[minux]

download https://go.googlecode.com/files/go1.1rc1.windows-amd64.zip,
and you will find a go/bin/go.exe~ file in it.

-rw-rw-rw-  2.0 unx  7591424 bl defN  1-May-13 14:08 go/bin/go.exe
-rw-rw-rw-  2.0 unx  9661952 bl defN  1-May-13 14:07 go/bin/go.exe~

i verified that bin/go~ is not present in go1.1rc1.linux-amd64.tar.gz.

i think it's a race detector version of go.exe, but why it's there in the windows/amd64
package, but not linux/amd64 tarball?

Comment 1:

The go.exe~ file is present in the go1.1 final build as well.

I don't have time to investigate this. Anyone interested is welcome to figure it out.

I'm pretty sure it would be running the misc/dist tool with -tag=go1.1
windows-{amd64,386}

cd $GOROOT/misc/dist
go build
./dist -upload=false windows-amd64
It'll probably choke on building the .msi if you don't have the relevant tools
installed, but that shouldn't hinder the resolution of this issue.

I recently downloaded 'go1.1.1.windows-amd64.msi' and noticed that I also had an extra
"go.exe~" hanging out in the bin directory.

Comment 11:

Sorry Andrew, the current 1.1.1 binaries still have this stray artefact.

Looks like I forgot to rebuild dist.exe before rebuilding the windows binaries. Next
time.

Comment 13:

I don't care enough to leave this open. It'll get fixed with the next release.
