Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment: > Is tmpfile() available on Android?
Yes. Just tried it with Android NDK r13 with clang and API 21 (Android 5.0). Here's the source code test.c: #include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp = NULL; char c = '\0'; fp = tmpfile(); fprintf(fp, "123\n"); scanf("%c", &c); fclose(fp); return 0; } Compilation command: /opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang -target aarch64-none-android-linux -gcc-toolchain /opt/android-ndk/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64 --sysroot /opt/android-ndk/platforms/android-21/arch-arm64/usr -pie test.c (didn't test gcc as it's declared as 'deprecated' in NDK) Before scanf() returns, the temporary file is already deleted: shell@ASUS_Z00E_2:/ $ ls -l /proc/19300/fd lrwx------ shell shell 2017-02-22 15:21 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ shell shell 2017-02-22 15:21 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ shell shell 2017-02-22 15:21 2 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ shell shell 2017-02-22 15:20 3 -> /data/local/tmp/tmp.VguNf9sqcW (deleted) lr-x------ shell shell 2017-02-22 15:21 9 -> /dev/__properties__ For interested, here's its implementation: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/android-5.0.0_r1/libc/bionic/tmpfile.cpp ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29176> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
