# Tests for defined and undefined variables in .if conditions, in lint mode.
#
# As of 2020-09-14, lint mode contains experimental code for printing
# accurate error messages in case of undefined variables, instead of the
# wrong "Malformed condition".
#
# See also:
#	opt-debug-lint.mk

# DEF is defined, UNDEF is not.
DEF=		defined

# An expression based on a defined variable is fine.
.if !${DEF}

.endif

# Since the condition fails to evaluate, neither of the branches is taken.
# expect+1: Variable "UNDEF" is undefined
.if ${UNDEF}
.  error
.else
.  error

# The variable name depends on the undefined variable, which is probably a
# mistake.  The variable UNDEF, as used here, can be easily turned into
# an expression that is always defined, using the :U modifier.
#
# expect+1: Variable "VAR." is undefined
.if ${VAR.${UNDEF}}

# The inner variable DEF is defined, but the resulting name VAR.defined
# refers to an undefined variable, thus an error message.

# Variables that are referenced indirectly may be undefined in a condition.
#
# A practical example for this is CFLAGS, which consists of CWARNS, COPTS
# and a few others.  Just because these nested variables are not defined,
# this does not make the condition invalid.
#
# The crucial point is that at the point where the variable appears in the
# condition, there is no way to influence the definedness of the nested
# variables.  In particular, there is no modifier that would turn undefined
# nested variables into empty strings, as an equivalent to the :U modifier.
