Re: ACT announces availability of GNAT 3.14p

Where did you get the idea that the two functions have the
same prototype?

mktemp returns a pointer to a string which is the name of the
file which would have been unique at the moment the was
generated (but not necessarily afterward, which is the whole
point of the problem).

mkstemp, on the other hand returns a file descriptor for the
file which has been created and opened for exclusive use of
the caller.
