Package: bash
Version: 4.0-4
Severity: normal
I found annoing problem with bash's trap realization:
I'd like to use functions like this:
function1()
{
mkdir some/terporary/data
trap "rm -rf some/terporary/data" RETURN
....
blah-blah-blah||return 1
....
return 0
}
trap RETURN is very useful to write cleanup code in one place (but not before
every return).
But I found it's quite impossible to use this with bash:
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap
g...@desktopvm:~$ f() { trap 'echo t' RETURN; }
g...@desktopvm:~$ f
t
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap
trap -- 'echo t' RETURN
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap '' RETURN
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap
trap -- '' RETURN
g...@desktopvm:~$ f
t
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap
trap -- 'echo t' RETURN
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap 'echo -n' RETURN
g...@desktopvm:~$ f
t
g...@desktopvm:~$ trap
trap -- 'echo -n' RETURN
As you can see, if I call function which setup trap, I get the same trap for
current context.
And the only way to override this would be to setup trap in this context.
