Subject: Function-scoped parameters?
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:03:20 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.01.1102231257420.2792@hp> (raw)
This doesn't work, probably unsurprisingly. But is there a way to
accomplish it?
function () {
emulate -L zsh
local x=asdf
trap 'echo x is ${x:-unset}' EXIT
}
The use case is that I want to assign a local parameter 'temp' to
be set to the name of a temporary file. If anything goes wrong in the
function, I'd like that temporary file to be removed, but I don't want
'temp' to leak out of the function scope.
e.g.:
dosomething () {
emulate -L zsh
local temp=$(mktemp)
setopt err_return
trap '(( $+temp )) && rm $temp' EXIT
# ...
}

Best,
Ben
