Isn't IDL_DELTMP supposed to decide first whether v is a temporary variable or not? If I remove IDL_DELTMP, of course, I'll frequently get the annoying warning message "% Temporary variables are still checked out - cleaning up...".

Try this:

if (v != argv[0]) IDL_DELTMP(v);

That is, no conversion was necessary.

The macro (in idl_export.h, if you're interested) doesn't do extensive checking, and you should only free variables that are temps, not expressions or constants.
