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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #43872 (project octave):

Rather than write our own routines to re-perform the work of tempnam, I think
it would be better to use whatever we can from gnulib.

One way would be to check for the appropriate environment variable and the dir
arg being set, and in such a case use unsetenv temporarily before calling
tempnam.

Another choice would be to use get_tempname from gnulib directly.  See
https://github.com/gagern/gnulib/blob/master/lib/tempname.h.
In this case we set up the template string with either P_tmpdir or the dir_arg
if it is set and then call get_tempname.
