std::tmpfile() not picking TMPDIR location

I am using std::tmpfile() to create temporary files, but I want to use the location other than /tmp. I am exporting $TMPDIR to point to the new location, but std::tmpfile() doesn't pick the new location.

How to create temporary files with std::tmpfile() in a folder other than /tmp?

A quick test program

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    const char* tf = std::tmpnam(nullptr);
    std::cout << "tmpfile: " << tf << '\n';
    return 0;
}

and an ltrace

osmith@osmith-VirtualBox:~$ ltrace ./test.exe
__libc_start_main(0x400836, 1, 0x7ffedf17e178, 0x4008e0 <unfinished ...>

confirms that, per the man page, no environment variables are consulted by std::tmpnam, it only uses P_tmpdir which is a constant.

If this is purely for Linux, you could use mkstemp instead:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    char tmpl[] = "/var/tmp/testXXXXXX";
    int f = mkstemp(tmpl);
    if (f < 0) {
        std::cerr << "mkstemp failed\n";
        return 1;
    }
    std::cout << tmpl << '\n';
    close(f);
    return 0;
}

Demo:

osmith@osmith-VirtualBox:~$ g++ -o test.exe test.cpp -std=c++14
osmith@osmith-VirtualBox:~$ ./test.exe
/var/tmp/testEFULD4
