MAKEDIR make directory and check for success

malformed paths can be 'created' but are not accessible. This function works around that bug in Matlab mkdir().

Matlab < R2018a needs char input

function makedir(direc)

to avoid confusing making ./~/mydir

direc = stdlib.expanduser(direc);

if ~stdlib.strempty(direc)
  [s, ~] = mkdir(direc);
end

ok = s == 1;

ok = ok && stdlib.is_folder(direc);

if nargout == 0
  assert(ok, 'Failed to create directory: %s', direc)
end

end
