52 # Demonstrate an edge case in which the 'static' for 'errorReported' in
53 # Var_Subst actually makes a difference, preventing "a plethora of messages".
54 # Given that this is an edge case and the error message is wrong and thus
55 # misleading anyway, that piece of code is probably not necessary. The wrong
56 # condition was added in var.c 1.185 from 2014-05-19.
57 #
58 # To trigger this difference, the variable assignment must use the assignment
59 # operator ':=' to make VarEvalMode_ShouldKeepUndef return true. There must
60 # be 2 expressions that create a parse error, which in this case is ':OX'.
61 # These expressions must be nested in some way. The below expressions are
62 # minimal, that is, removing any part of it destroys the effect.
63 #
64 # Without the 'static', there would be one more message like this:
65 # Undefined variable "${:U:OX"
66 #
67 #.MAKEFLAGS: -dv
68 IND= ${:OX}
69 # expect+2: Undefined variable "${:U:OX"
70 # expect+1: Undefined variable "${:U:OX"

75 # Before var.c 1.032 from 2022-08-24, make complained about 'Unknown modifier'
76 # or 'Bad modifier' when in fact the modifier was entirely correct, it was
77 # just not delimited by either ':' or '}' but instead by '\0'.
