# Tests for the obscure ::= variable modifiers, which perform variable
# assignments during evaluation, just like the = operator in C.

mod-assign:
	# The ::?= modifier applies the ?= assignment operator 3 times.
	# The ?= operator only has an effect for the first time, therefore
	# the variable FIRST ends up with the value 1.
	@echo $@: ${1 2 3:L:@i@${FIRST::?=$i}@} first=${FIRST}.

	# The ::= modifier applies the = assignment operator 3 times.
	# The = operator overwrites the previous value, therefore the
	# variable LAST ends up with the value 3.
	@echo $@: ${1 2 3:L:@i@${LAST::=$i}@} last=${LAST}.

	# The ::+= modifier applies the += assignment operator 3 times.
	# The += operator appends 3 times to the variable, therefore
	# the variable APPENDED ends up with the value "1 2 3".
	@echo $@: ${1 2 3:L:@i@${APPENDED::+=$i}@} appended=${APPENDED}.

	# The ::!= modifier applies the != assignment operator 3 times.
	# The side effects of the shell commands are visible in the output.
	# Just as with the ::= modifier, the last value is stored in the
	# RAN variable.
	@echo $@: ${echo.1 echo.2 echo.3:L:@i@${RAN::!=${i:C,.*,&; & 1>\&2,:S,., ,g}}@} ran:${RAN}.

	# The assignments happen in the global scope and thus are
	# preserved even after the shell command has been run.
	@echo $@: global: ${FIRST:Q}, ${LAST:Q}, ${APPENDED:Q}, ${RAN:Q}.

mod-assign-nested:
	# The condition "1" is true, therefore THEN1 gets assigned a value,
	# and IT1 as well.  Nothing surprising here.
