[Explanation of when is mktemp() used and patch to remove the warning]The warning can be ignored.Sure. However, actually removing the spurious warning would not only make (some) build systems happier, but also produce less confused users, so it seemed (potentially) valuable.
I understand. I have a problem with changing perfectly valid code that serves its intended purpose to satisfy an invalid warning. It's the 80-20 rule: I'm sure that this warning is valid 80% of the time or more. I'd like a way to turn it off for the other 20%, where this case falls.
