I think this is a good idea, like the C functions tmpfile and tmpnam. Perhaps returning a boost::shared_ptr<fstream> with a custom deleter? On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 11:30 AM, Craig Henderson < cdm.henderson@googlemail.com> wrote:

I cannot find any function in the Boost.Filesystem library to get a temporary filename. There has been some discussion about this functionality on the lists many years ago - did anything come of this?

I need a cross-platform way to do this and was hoping boost would provide it :)

Thanks
