# Tests for the ${cond:?then:else} variable modifier, which evaluates either
|
|
# the then-expression or the else-expression, depending on the condition.
|
|
#
|
|
# The modifier was added on 1998-04-01.
|
|
#
|
|
# Until 2015-10-11, the modifier always evaluated both the "then" and the
|
|
# "else" expressions.

# TODO: Implementation
|

|
|
# The variable name of the expression is expanded and then taken as the
|
|
# condition. In the below example it becomes:
|
|
#
|
|
# variable expression == "literal"
|
|
#
|
|
# This confuses the parser, which expects an operator instead of the bare
|
|
# word "expression". If the name were expanded lazily, everything would be
|
|
# fine since the condition would be:
|
|
#
|
|
# ${:Uvariable expression} == "literal"
|
|
#
|
|
# Evaluating the variable name lazily would require additional code in
|
|
# Var_Parse and ParseVarname, it would be more useful and predictable
|
|
# though.

# On 2021-04-19, when building external/bsd/tmux with HAVE_LLVM=yes and
|
|
# HAVE_GCC=no, the following conditional generated this error message:
|
|
#
|
|
# make: Bad conditional expression 'string == "literal" && no >= 10'
|
|
# in 'string == "literal" && no >= 10?yes:no'
|
|
#
|
|
# Despite the error message (which was not clearly marked with "error:"),
|
|
# the build continued, for historical reasons, see main_Exit.
|
|
#
|
|
# The tricky detail here is that the condition that looks so obvious in the
|
|
# form written in the makefile becomes tricky when it is actually evaluated.
|
|
# This is because the condition is written in the place of the variable name
|
|
# of the expression, and in an expression, the variable name is always
|
|
# expanded first, before even looking at the modifiers. This happens for the
|
|
# modifier ':?' as well, so when CondEvalExpression gets to see the
|
|
# expression, it already looks like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# string == "literal" && no >= 10
|
|
#
|
|
# When parsing such an expression, the parser used to be strict. It first
|
|
# evaluated the left-hand side of the operator '&&' and then started parsing
|
|
# the right-hand side 'no >= 10'. The word 'no' is obviously a string
|
|
# literal, not enclosed in quotes, which is ok, even on the left-hand side of
|
|
# the comparison operator, but only because this is a condition in the
|
|
# modifier ':?'. In an ordinary directive '.if', this would be a parse error.
|
|
# For strings, only the comparison operators '==' and '!=' are defined,
|
|
# therefore parsing stopped at the '>', producing the 'Bad conditional
|
|
# expression'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Ideally, the conditional expression would not be expanded before parsing
|
|
# it. This would allow to write the conditions exactly as seen below. That
|
|
# change has a high chance of breaking _some_ existing code and would need
|
|
# to be thoroughly tested.
|
|
#
|
|
# Since cond.c 1.262 from 2021-04-20, make reports a more specific error
|
|
# message in situations like these, pointing directly to the specific problem
|
|
# instead of just saying that the whole condition is bad.
