# $NetBSD: varparse-errors.mk,v 1.9 2023/06/01 20:56:35 rillig Exp $

# Tests for parsing and evaluating all kinds of variable expressions.
#
# This is the basis for redesigning the error handling in Var_Parse and
# Var_Subst, collecting typical and not so typical use cases.
#
# See also:
#	Var_Parse
#	Var_Subst

PLAIN=		plain value

LITERAL_DOLLAR=	To get a dollar, double $$ it.

INDIRECT=	An ${:Uindirect} value.

REF_UNDEF=	A reference to an ${UNDEF}undefined variable.

ERR_UNCLOSED=	An ${UNCLOSED variable expression.

ERR_BAD_MOD=	An ${:Uindirect:Z} expression with an unknown modifier.

ERR_EVAL=	An evaluation error ${:Uvalue:C,.,\3,}.

# In a conditional, a variable expression that is not enclosed in quotes is
# expanded using the mode VARE_UNDEFERR.
# The variable itself must be defined.
# It may refer to undefined variables though.
.if ${REF_UNDEF} != "A reference to an undefined variable."
.  error

# As of 2020-12-01, errors in the variable name are silently ignored.
# Since var.c 1.754 from 2020-12-20, unknown modifiers at parse time result
# in an error message and a non-zero exit status.
# expect+1: Unknown modifier "Z"
VAR.${:U:Z}=	unknown modifier in the variable name
.if ${VAR.} != "unknown modifier in the variable name"

# Demonstrate an edge case in which the 'static' for 'errorReported' in
# Var_Subst actually makes a difference, preventing "a plethora of messages".
# Given that this is an edge case and the error message is wrong and thus
# misleading anyway, that piece of code is probably not necessary.  The wrong
# condition was added in var.c 1.185 from 2014-05-19.
#
# To trigger this difference, the variable assignment must use the assignment
# operator ':=' to make VarEvalMode_ShouldKeepUndef return true.  There must
# be 2 expressions that create a parse error, which in this case is ':OX'.
# These expressions must be nested in some way.  The below expressions are
# minimal, that is, removing any part of it destroys the effect.
#
# Without the 'static', there would be one more message like this:
#	Undefined variable "${:U:OX"
#
#.MAKEFLAGS: -dv
IND=	${:OX}
# expect+2: Undefined variable "${:U:OX"
# expect+1: Undefined variable "${:U:OX"
_:=	${:U:OX:U${IND}} ${:U:OX:U${IND}}
#.MAKEFLAGS: -d0


# Before var.c 1.032 from 2022-08-24, make complained about 'Unknown modifier'
# or 'Bad modifier' when in fact the modifier was entirely correct, it was
# just not delimited by either ':' or '}' but instead by '\0'.
