As Ludovic Courtes pointed out, the StarPU samplings should probably be
stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/starpu/sampling rather than in
$HOME/.starpu/sampling.

Some of our users are probably used to having these files in
$HOME/.starpu/sampling though, so it would be nice if nothing was to change
for them.

The following patch makes sure we store our perfmodels in $XDG_CACHE_HOME or
$HOME/.cache if $HOME/.starpu/sampling does not exist :

I'd rather have a clear simple algorithm: try all the paths in a given
order, and if none of them exists, create the first path in the order.
Otherwise it's a mess to document and care about.

I think the goal should be to deprecate ~/.starpu and move towards XDG
compliance. What do you think?

If we agree on that, then Cyril’s patch looks fine to me. Perhaps it
should issue a warning when something is found under ~/.starpu, and/or
move it to the new location.


Do we want to use ~/.starpu if it already exists, no matter what environment variables are set ? Should we ignore it ? Move it to the new directory ?

Cyril.
