---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006041) illiliti (reporter) - 2022-11-09 13:18 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1616#c6041 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, your example should work, but it is not simple. Look at how simple mktemp is: tmpfile=$(mktemp) or directory: tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) mktemp is impossible to misuse unlike shell. Plus it is already more-or-less portable and widespread on all open-source systems. Also unrelated, but it seems that your example does not work with yash when tmpfile is a dangling symlink. Looks like a yash bug. Reported.
