Bug ID: 21495
Summary: clang should prevent the .c files to get overwritten
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: Frontend

>From gcc bug report; clang is 'vulnerable' too:
==================
Suggestion: prevent GCC from overwriting source code files when invoked as:
gcc source.c -o source.c
Background: I use command completion heavily. Very often while in coding mood I
do:
gcc myfile.c -o myf<TAB>
not to type "myfile", which is long. But after completion kicks in, I sometimes
forget to do <BACKSPACE><BACKSPACE>.
And .c file gets overwritten.
It'd be nice to have GCC catch this. And if you really want to do it, maybe run
GCC with: --yes-im-sure-i-want-to-overwrite-my-source-code switch.
==================
GCC links:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36312
This feature has been checked-in to Clang already. Would be nice to see Clang
fixed too.
Thanks,
Wojciech
