[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43872] tempname does not provide unique temporary name in Windows.

[Rik]

Update of bug #43872 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

There seems to be something wrong with the tempnam function under Windows. 
Even without the modifications for bug #43844, the returned value should have
6 characters worth of randomness.

For example, on a Linux machine


tempname ()
ans = /tmp/oct-LCigCo


What do repeated invocations of just tempname produce on Windows?


tempname ()
tempname ()
tempname ()
tempname ()


Is it just a numerically increasing filename?
