Display type: PMAGB-BA
What were you trying to do?
Use the PCLU compiler in 6.035, which invokes a language
translator to convert .clu to .c files, then compiles the
.c files to .o files.
What's wrong:
AFS gives delayed results which are semantically confusing.
What should have happened:
AFS should display all files created when I run an ls if
the processes on my workstation that think they have written
out their files have completed and exited.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

Here's an example of this "bug":
athena% make clean
rm -f *.o *.c *.lib *.sym clu.junk
athena% make start_up.o
/mit/PCLU/decmipsbin/PCLU -optimize start_up.clu token.equ general.equ -use le07.lib -use /mit/PCLU/decmipslib/lib/useful.lib
athena% ls -altr start*
-rw------- 1 pshuang 36 Oct 5 19:53 start_up.clu
-rw------- 1 pshuang 472 Oct 5 19:56 start_up.c
athena% ls -altr start*
-rw------- 1 pshuang 36 Oct 5 19:53 start_up.clu
-rw------- 1 pshuang 2720 Oct 5 19:56 start_up.o
The two ls commands were issued within a few seconds of each other, the
first one was issued within a few seconds after the make completed.
