Description (last modified by )
In r15574, you put a volatile modifier on nTempFileCounter. This looks to be protect from multithreaded race cases between callers of CPLGenerateTempFilename where more than one thread might get the same tempfile number. Would it be better to call CPLAtomicInc and use the result of that? If so, should I drop the volatile?
e.g.
static volatile int nTempFileCounter = 0; CPLString osFilename; osFilename.Printf( "%s%u_%d", pszStem, (unsigned int)(CPLGetPID() & 0xFFFFFFFFU), nTempFileCounter++ );
Would become this.
static int nTempFileCounter = 0; CPLString osFilename; osFilename.Printf( "%s%u_%d", pszStem, static_cast<unsigned int>( CPLGetPID() & 0xFFFFFFFFU), CPLAtomicInc(nTempFileCounter) );
A second question on this code:
Why the mask on the CPLGetPID()?

+1 for CPLAtomicInc (but use &nTempFileCounter as argument)
I think the mask was when using with some sanitzation runtime because CPLGetPID() could return a value larger than a unsigned int. But A better fix would be to replace %u with CPL_FRMT_GIB and dropping the cast
