      3 # Tests for the variable modifier ':@', which as a side effect allows to
      4 # delete an arbitrary variable.
      5 
      6 # A side effect of the modifier ':@' is that the loop variable is created as
      7 # an actual variable in the current evaluation scope (Command/Global/target),
      8 # and at the end of the loop, this variable is deleted.  Since var.c 1.204
      9 # from 2016-02-18 and before var.c 1.963 from 2021-12-05, a variable could be
     10 # deleted while it was in use, leading to a use-after-free bug.
     11 #
     12 # See Var_Parse, comment 'the value of the variable must not change'.
     13 
     14 # Set up the variable that deletes itself when it is evaluated.

     17 # In an assignment, the scope is 'Global'.  Since the variable 'VAR' is
     18 # defined in the global scope, it deletes itself.
     19 # expect+1: while evaluating variable "VAR" with value "${:U:@VAR@@} rest of the value": while evaluating "${:U:@VAR@@} rest of the value": Cannot delete variable "VAR" while it is used
