[Mono-dev] [PATCH] MS.NET compatible Path.GetTempFileName

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

MS.NET uses Windows API GetTempFileName function for Path.GetTempFileName.
If we want full compatibility we should implement it in the I/O layer using
a global unsigned 16-bit counter that starts from zero and is incremented
without overflow check each time GetTempFileName is called.

Altough a managed implementation can be as good as a native one I think the
file name pattern should be the same. The attached patch modifies the
pattern to "tmp<UUUU>.tmp" that is the same used by MS.NET. (There is no
zero padding in <UUUU>.)

Please review and approve the patch.

Kornél
