mkstemp() implementation for win32

问题:

Can anybody point me to the code that implements mkstemp() (C/C++) on Win32, or very close analog.

Must be race-free.

It's supposed to look like

#include <windows.h>
#include <io.h>

// port of mkstemp() to win32. race-free.
// behaviour as described in http://linux.die.net/man/3/mkstemp
// 
int mkstemp(char *template) {
     ...
}

Thanks

You can use the following function which is extracted from wcecompat library (from file src/stdlib_extras.cpp)

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";

   rules for mk[s]temp (i.e. end in "XXXXXX").  The name constructed

   overwritten with the result.  */
int
mkstemp (char *tmpl)
{
  int len;
  char *XXXXXX;
  static unsigned long long value;
  unsigned long long random_time_bits;
  unsigned int count;
  int fd = -1;
  int save_errno = errno;

  /* A lower bound on the number of temporary files to attempt to

  len = strlen (tmpl);
  if (len < 6 || strcmp (&tmpl[len - 6], "XXXXXX"))
    {
      errno = EINVAL;
      return -1;
    }

/* This is where the Xs start.  */
  XXXXXX = &tmpl[len - 6];

  /* Get some more or less random data.  */
  {
    SYSTEMTIME      stNow;
    FILETIME ftNow;

    {

        return -1;
    }

    random_time_bits = (((unsigned long long)ftNow.dwHighDateTime << 32)

  }
  value += random_time_bits ^ (unsigned long long)GetCurrentThreadId ();

  for (count = 0; count < attempts; value += 7777, ++count)
    {
      unsigned long long v = value;

      /* Fill in the random bits.  */
      XXXXXX[0] = letters[v % 62];
      v /= 62;
      XXXXXX[1] = letters[v % 62];
      v /= 62;
      XXXXXX[2] = letters[v % 62];
      v /= 62;
      XXXXXX[3] = letters[v % 62];
      v /= 62;
      XXXXXX[4] = letters[v % 62];
      v /= 62;
      XXXXXX[5] = letters[v % 62];

      fd = open (tmpl, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE);
      if (fd >= 0)
    {
      errno = save_errno;
      return fd;
    }
      else if (errno != EEXIST)
    return -1;
    }

  /* We got out of the loop because we ran out of combinations to try.  */
  errno = EEXIST;
  return -1;
}

It defines O_EXCL as;

#define _O_EXCL         0x0400
#define O_EXCL          _O_EXCL

You can rip out mkstemp support out of it easily.

回答2:

Actually, using _mktemp_s() is a really bad idea -- only 26 possible file name candidates in any one context, and, with this limited range to be attacked, it exposes the very race condition that mkstemp() is designed to overcome. However, the other proposed solution, while much better, is also flawed, insofar as it attributes 62 degrees of freedom in the choice of substitute file name characters, whereas the case insensitivity of the Windows file system consumes 26 of these, thus leaving only 36; this has the effect of weighting the probability of selecting any logically distinguishable alphabetic character at double that for a numeric.

With this in mind, I've posted a MinGW patch here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2003/

If adopted, this will formally add both mkstemp() and mkdtemp() to the standard MinGW distribution.

回答3:

You can use _mktemp_s() function, or any of it's variations:

errno_t _mktemp_s(
   char *template,
   size_t sizeInChars
);

where:

• template: File name pattern.
• sizeInChars: Size of the buffer in single-byte characters in _mktemp_s; wide characters in _wmktemp_s, including the null terminator.

It returns 0 on success, and an error code on failure. Note that the function modifyes the template argument.
