File.tmpfile is just a simple wrapper around core.stdc.stdio.tmpfile, so the
issue is with the DMC's C standard library.

This is not a bug. It works as intended. Should close.

The OS prevents to create the file, so tmpfile() throws an exception. I don't
see how this can be considered a bug.

The filename is chosen by the C runtime, not the operating system. It is a bug
in the DigitalMars C runtime. It probably tries to use the hard-coded
%WINDIR%\Temp directory, instead of the user profile directory or %TEMP%.

Oh, I just saw the author of the issue. It's not "random Denis".
Anyway, has a bug report been done in DMC C bugzilla ?
Else this one will stay open forever, I'm affraid.

Actually, it uses stdio.h's _P_tmpdir, which on Windows is "\\". Did I say that
implementation is rather old? I also noticed that Windows 7 does not allow
writing to the root directory. XP allowed it.

 XP allowed it.


You mean, to administrator users? I don't think regular users can create files
in the drive root on XP either:
