 1.24  30-Mar-2025  rillig make: if there is an error in the items of a .for loop, don't iterate
 1.23  29-Mar-2025  rillig make: add ":" to error message about unknown modifier

In the manual page, the modifiers are listed with a preceding ":", so
use the same pattern in the error message. This removes an inconsistency
between the error messages "Unknown modifier" and "Bad modifier".
 1.22  29-Mar-2025  rillig make: stop parsing after seeing an unknown modifier in an expression

Previously, after an expression such as ${VAR:Z::::}, make detected the
unknown modifier ":Z" and then continued parsing, which produced
unnecessary follow-up error messages. It was also necessary to
distinguish the error cases when logging the result of an applied
modifier in -dv mode.

Unify the error handling cases of a syntax error, an evaluation error
and an unknown modifier, to avoid the unnecessary follow-up error
messages.

The test in varmod-edge.mk now produces ":}" from the erroneous
expression, which may be misleading and thus will be looked at in a
follow-up commit.

The general idea of this patch was reviewed by sjg, I made a few
nonsubstantial changes after the review.
 1.21  29-Aug-2024  rillig make: reduce line length in error messages

The error messages for deeply nested parse errors were hard to decipher,
due to the large amount of text. Split these messages into individual
lines, just as in the backtrace for .include files and .for loops. This
unified backtrace makes the output more uniform.
 1.20  04-Jul-2024  rillig make: add more context information to error messages

In case of a parse error or evaluation error, print the variable value
in addition to the variable name, to see the effects of previous
expression modifiers.

In nested make calls, print the current directory at the bottom of a
stack trace, as that information is otherwise hard to get in a parallel
build spanning multiple directories.
 1.19  20-Apr-2024  rillig make: provide more context information for parse/evaluate errors
 1.18  04-Feb-2024  rillig make: do not evaluate indirect modifiers in parse-only mode

Discovered by sjg.
 1.17  04-Feb-2024  rillig make: in parse-only mode, don't evaluate modifiers

Previously, the ':S', ':ts', ':tA' and ':from=to' modifiers were
evaluated in parse-only mode, unnecessarily. This is only noticeable
when an indirect modifier is evaluated in parse-only mode, which is
another bug that will be fixed in a follow-up commit.
 1.16  04-Feb-2024  rillig tests/make: extend test for wrong evaluation in parse-only mode
 1.15  04-Feb-2024  rillig tests/make: indirect modifiers are evaluated in parse-only mode

Found by sjg@.
 1.14  19-Nov-2023  rillig tests/make: replace 'variable expressions' with 'expressions'
 1.13  19-Nov-2023  rillig tests/make: replace 'variable expression' with 'expression'

Each expression is based on a variable, there's no need for the
verbosity. The wording in make's diagnostics will be changed in a
follow-up commit.
 1.12  01-Jun-2023  rillig tests/make: force line-based diagnostics to be listed in the tests

This way, contradictions between the intended output and the actual
output are closer together and have a better chance of being spotted.
 1.11  15-Jan-2022  rillig tests/make: ensure that the 'expect' comments in tests are correct

Based on tests/usr.bin/xlint/check-expect.lua.

For now, this extra check needs to be run manually.
 1.10  08-Jan-2022  rillig make: fix reported line numbers of continuation lines (since 2002)

Previously, multi-line directives like '.info' or '.error' reported the
line number of their last line instead of their first line, which is
more usual. This also affected the debug log from '-dp'.
 1.9  15-Mar-2021  rillig make: rename ApplyModifiersState to ModChain

The new name accurately describes the structural element that holds such
properties as the separator character and whether the expression value
is considered a single word. The old name ApplyModifiersState was too
long and was meant as a placeholder anyway, when I introduced it in
var.c 1.236 from 2020-07-03.
 1.8  14-Feb-2021  rillig make: add test for indirect ':U' modifier

Unlike ':ts' and ':tW', the effects of ':U' are visible even after the
modifiers from the nested expression have been applied. These subtle
details, like many others, are not documented in the manual page.
 1.7  14-Feb-2021  rillig make: document since when indirect modifiers are supported
 1.6  14-Feb-2021  rillig make: add more tests for edge cases in evaluating variable expressions

As a preparation for refactoring the code around variable expressions,
there need to be a few tests for indirect variable modifiers since these
were not covered before.

Indirect modifiers may include ':ts' and ':tW', which change the
interpretation of the variable expression in small details. The scope
of these changes is limited to the indirect modifier, any evaluations
outside this indirect modifier are unaffected.

The changes to the .exp file are mostly line number changes, plus a
demonstration of a newly found bug, where an expression is evaluated
successfully despite producing a parse error.
 1.5  27-Dec-2020  rillig make(1): split test for indirect modifiers into paragraphs
 1.4  27-Dec-2020  rillig make(1): add tests for parsing indirect modifiers in nested expressions
 1.3  27-Dec-2020  rillig make(1): remove dead code from ApplyModifiersIndirect

At that point, the expression can never be varUndefined. At the
beginning of ParseVarnameLong, the expression is initialized to a simple
empty string, and that string is only ever converted to varUndefined at
the very end of Var_Parse.
 1.2  20-Dec-2020  rillig make(1): move tests for indirect modifiers around

The next commit will error out on unknown modifiers and influence the
exit status. The test modmisc.mk contains both parse time tests and run
time tests. To prevent the latter from being run, the parse error is
moved to varmod-indirect.mk, which only contains parse time tests.
 1.1  01-Dec-2020  rillig make(1): add test and tutorial for indirect modifiers
