Fix Version/s: 4.2.2
Targeting 4.2.2.
> std::filebuf::open(0, ...) should honor TMPDIR
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STDCXX-801
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-801
> Project: C++ Standard Library
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: 27. Input/Output
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: Martin Sebor
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.2.2

> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> The {{std::filebuf::open()}} function implements, as an extension, the
> ability to create a temporary file that is automatically deleted on process
> exit (regardless of whether the exit is normal or otherwise). The function
> uses the
> [mkstemp|http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/mkstemp.html]
> function on POISX platforms and
> [tempnam|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235370(VS.80).aspx]
> function on Windows. In both cases, the function uses the {{P_tmpdir}} macro
> for the directory where to create the temporary file. On POSIX systems it's
> customary to be able to set the {{TMPDIR}} environment variable to a
> directory where temporary files should be created by programs. We should
> change our implementation so as to honor this convention. On Windows, there
> is an analogous environment variable {{TMP}}. We should change our
> implementation on Windows to honor {{TMP}} if it's set and use {{P_tmpdir}}
> only when it's not.
