Hmmm. As far as I may concern both kind of the platforms in question
provide the consistent implementation of the function called "tempnam".
For example see $ROOTSYS/cint/src/loadfile.c: 2264: G__tmpnam(name)
This G__tmpnam(name) function is a part of the ROOT official
distribution.
Microsoft doc says:
" . . .
tmpnam returns a name unique in the current working directory and
_tempnam lets you generate a unique name in a directory other than the
current
. . . "
Why did you select the non-portable "tmpnam" rather "more"
portable "tempnam"?
For example see $ROOTSYS/cint/src/loadfile.c: 2264: G__tmpnam(name)

[Valeri Fine]
I think the best solution for Windows OS is to keep the temporary files
in the temporary directories. These directories are to be clean by OS
(Windows)
time by time automatically to avoid the disk space memory leak.
