# Tests for target-local variables, such as ${.TARGET} or $@.  These variables
# are relatively short-lived as they are created just before making the
# target.  In contrast, global variables are typically created when the
# makefiles are read in.
#
# The 7 built-in target-local variables are listed in the manual page.  They
# are defined just before the target is actually made.  Additional
# target-local variables can be defined in dependency lines like
# 'target: VAR=value', one at a time.

# Deferred evaluation during parsing
#
# The target-local variables can be used in expressions, just like other
# variables.  When these expressions are evaluated outside of a target, these
# expressions are not yet expanded, instead their text is preserved, to allow
# these expressions to expand right in time when the target-local variables
# are actually set.
#
# Conditions from .if directives are evaluated in the scope of the command
# line, which means that variables from the command line, from the global
# scope and from the environment are resolved, in this precedence order (but
# see the command line option '-e').  In that phase, expressions involving
# target-local variables need to be preserved, including the exact names of
# the variables.
#
# Each of the built-in target-local variables has two equivalent names, for
# example '@' is equivalent to '.TARGET'.  The implementation might
# canonicalize these aliases at some point, and that might be surprising.
# This aliasing happens for single-character variable names like $@ or $<
# (see VarFind, CanonicalVarname), but not for braced or parenthesized
# expressions like ${@}, ${.TARGET} ${VAR:Mpattern} (see Var_Parse,
# ParseVarname).
#
# In the following condition, make expands '$@' to the long-format alias
# '$(.TARGET)'; note that the alias is not written with braces, as would be
# common in BSD makefiles, but with parentheses.  This alternative spelling
# behaves the same though.

# In the long form of writing a target-local variable, the text of the

# with '{' or '('.
.if ${@} != "\$\{@}"
.  error
.endif
.if $(@) != "\$\(@)"
.  error
.endif
# If the variable expression contains modifiers, the behavior depends on the
# actual modifiers.  The modifier ':M' keeps the expression in the state
# 'undefined'.  Since the expression is still undefined after evaluating all
# the modifiers, the value of the expression is discarded and the expression
# text is used instead.  This preserves the expressions based on target-local
# variables as long as possible.
.if ${@:M*} != "\$\{@:M*}"
.  error
.endif
# In the following examples, the expressions are based on target-local
# variables but use the modifier ':L', which turns an undefined expression
# into a defined one.  At the end of evaluating the expression, the state of
# the expression is not 'undefined' anymore.  The value of the expression
# is the name of the variable, since that's what the modifier ':L' does.
