When building code that calls tmpnam, the compiler generates this warning:
"warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'"
Unlike other compiler warnings this one does not have a number and so there
appears to be no way to disable it. I'd really like to disable this warning as
our goal is to have our code compiling warning free, and I get frequent
questions about this warning from other developers.
For reference, we are explicitly calling this function precisely *because* it
is unsafe. We have a library that we preload which wrappers calls to this
function so we can trap any calls made to it and print out warnings to the
user that it is being invoked before we call it. We do this with several
unsafe calls that we want to avoid. Unfortunately this causes the compiler to
generate the above warning from our code.
