# Tests for indirect variable modifiers, such as in ${VAR:${M_modifiers}}.
# These can be used for very basic purposes like converting a string to either
# uppercase or lowercase, as well as for fairly advanced modifiers that first
# look like line noise and are hard to decipher.
#
# TODO: Since when are indirect modifiers supported?


# To apply a modifier indirectly via another variable, the whole
# modifier must be put into a single variable expression.

# Adding another level of indirection (the 2 nested :U expressions) helps.
.if ${value:L:${:U${:US}${:U,value,replacement,}}} != "replacement"

# Multiple indirect modifiers can be applied one after another as long as
# they are separated with colons.

.endif


# An indirect variable that evaluates to the empty string is allowed though.
# This makes it possible to define conditional modifiers, like this:
#
# M.little-endian=	S,1234,4321,
# M.big-endian=		# none
.if ${value:L:${:Dempty}S,a,A,} != "vAlue"

# The nested variable expression expands to "tu", and this is interpreted as
# a variable modifier for the value "Upper", resulting in "UPPER".
.if ${Upper:L:${:Utu}} != "UPPER"

# The nested variable expression expands to "tl", and this is interpreted as
# a variable modifier for the value "Lower", resulting in "lower".

# The nested variable expression is ${1 != 1:?Z:tl}, consisting of the
# condition "1 != 1", the then-branch "Z" and the else-branch "tl".  Since
# the condition evaluates to false, the then-branch is ignored (it would
# have been an unknown modifier anyway) and the ":tl" modifier is applied.
.if ${Mixed:L:${1 != 1:?Z:tl}} != "mixed"
.  error

# The indirect modifier can also replace an ':L' modifier, which allows for
# brain twisters since by reading the expression alone, it is not possible
# to say whether the variable name will be evaluated as a variable name or
# as the immediate value of the expression.
