#
# Demonstrates that in conditions, the right-hand side of an && or ||
# is only evaluated if it can actually influence the result.
# This is called 'short-circuit evaluation' and is the usual evaluation
# mode in most programming languages.  A notable exception is Ada, which
# distinguishes between the operators 'And', 'And Then', 'Or', 'Or Else'.
#
# Before 2020-06-28, the right-hand side of an && or || operator was always
# evaluated, which was wrong.  In cond.c 1.69 and var.c 1.197 on 2015-10-11,
# Var_Parse got a new parameter named 'wantit'.  Since then it would have been
# possible to skip evaluation of irrelevant variable expressions and only
# parse them.  They were still evaluated though, the only difference to
# relevant variable expressions was that in the irrelevant variable
# expressions, undefined variables were allowed.  This allowed for conditions
# like 'defined(VAR) && ${VAR:S,from,to,} != ""', which no longer produced an
# error message 'Malformed conditional', but the irrelevant expression was
# still evaluated.
#
# Since the initial commit on 1993-03-21, the manual page has been saying that
# make 'will only evaluate a conditional as far as is necessary to determine',
# but that was wrong.  The code in cond.c 1.1 from 1993-03-21 looks good since
# it calls Var_Parse(condExpr, VAR_CMD, doEval,&varSpecLen,&doFree), but the
# definition of Var_Parse did not call the third parameter 'doEval', as would
# be expected, but instead 'err', accompanied by the comment 'TRUE if
# undefined variables are an error'.  This subtle difference between 'do not
# evaluate at all' and 'allow undefined variables' led to the unexpected
# evaluation.
