Hi, Regarding the bug report for gettext: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2013-09/msg00010.html
javacomp.c has the following code to check if javac can compile some Java programs. First, it writes out some code snippet to a temporary file and then call javac command on the written file. Like this: write_temp_file (tmpdir, conftest_file_name, get_goodcode_snippet (source_version)); ... java_sources[0] = conftest_file_name; compile_using_javac (java_sources, 1, ...); write_temp_file opens the file with fopen_temp and close it with fwriteerror_temp at the end: static bool write_temp_file (struct temp_dir *tmpdir, const char *file_name, const char *contents) { FILE *fp; register_temp_file (tmpdir, file_name); fp = fopen_temp (file_name, "w"); ... if (fwriteerror_temp (fp)) } As fopen_temp uses "D" mode on Windows, which implies the file will be deleted on close (fwriteerror_temp here). Thus, after calling write_temp_file, the file will be deleted immediately. Maybe we should use plain fopen/fwriteerror here? Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
