[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63728] tempname() respects the TMP environment variable and tempdir() does not

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #63728 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

On Windows (where TEMP is used in place of TMP), I see the following with the
release candidate for Octave 8.0.90:

>> getenv('TEMP')
ans = C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Temp
>> getenv('TMPDIR')
ans =
>> tempname()
ans = C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-cD62Ae
>> tempdir()
ans = C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Temp\
>> setenv('TMPDIR', 'C:\Temp')
>> tempname()
ans = C:\Temp\oct-jUBCA8
>> tempdir()
ans = C:\Temp\
>> unsetenv('TMPDIR')
ans = 0
>> setenv('TEMP', 'C:\Temp')
>> tempdir()
ans = C:\Temp\
>> tempname()
ans = C:\Temp\oct-YaQ5Uh


That seems more consistent.

ISTR that there were some changes regarding the used temporary directory for
Octave 8.
Do you still see that inconsistency with (the release candidate of) Octave 8?
