Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: set EXIT trap before creating temporary directory
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2022 12:14:33 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220728031433.1077354-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

Swap the order of 'mkdir' and 'trap' just in case the subshell is
interrupted between 'mkdir' and 'trap' although the effect might be
subtle.

Please not this is not a perfect solution to avoid the left-over tmp
directory. There are more cases that miss to remove the tmp directory,
for example:

 - When interrupted, dash does not invoke the EXIT trap (bash does)

 - 'rm' command might be interrupted before removing the directory

I am not addressing all the cases since the tmp directory is harmless
after all.
