What did you do?

In any package with tests:

rm -r ~/pprof
go test -cpuprofile cpu.out
go tool pprof foo.test cpu.out
(do whatever, exit with ^D)

Note that it happens with exit/quit too.

What did you expect to see?

go tool pprof not cluttering my home directory.

What did you see instead?

An empty $HOME/pprof directory, just created:

drwxr-xr-x 1 mvdan mvdan    0 Nov 23 11:20 pprof/

I can submit a small patch to remove the directory if it's the correct fix. If the directory should be left behind for some reason, then I suggest it be a temporary directory under /tmp.

Note: this was #9180 (which was marked as fixed).

It seems like the fix got rid of some uses of $HOME/pprof, but some others remain.

This appears to be a dup of #16178.

@0xmohit correct, thanks. Hadn't found it because I was searching for pprof home.
