I agree it should.

However, I don't know how to put it in compat/ because tmpfile() exists,
links and is just broken in the implementation.
I don't know how to put it in src/win32/ because then how can I export
correctly the function in the headers, since the other OSes don't have
/need it?
I could put it in vlc_fixup.h, but I was afraid it would be too big to
be there.

And finally, I'd like to backport this.

So, what should I do, according to you?

With my kindest regards,
