Hi
Does the cygwin
tempfile()
API use the Win32
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY
flag on the files it creates?
Asking because that makes a fairly significant performance difference when
creating very short lived temp files.
Good question! If one specifies O_TMPFILE as one of the flags on an open() call,
Cygwin does set that Win32 attribute as desired. Unfortunately, Cygwin's
tmpfile() is supplied by newlib and it does not specify O_TMPFILE on its
underlying open() call.
That looks like a bug to me, unless I'm missing something subtle there; I'll
submit a patch and find out.
Thanks!
