# Demonstrates how to let make count the number of times a variable
|
|
# is actually accessed, using the ::= variable modifier.
|
|
#
|
|
# This works since 2020-09-23. Before that, the counter ended up at having
|
|
# 4 words, even though the NEXT variable was only accessed 3 times.
|
|
# The cause for this surprising behavior was that the ::= variable modifiers
|
|
# returned an error marker instead of a simple empty string.
|
|
|
|
RELEVANT= yes (load-time part) # just to filter the output
|
|
|
|
COUNTER= # zero
|
|
|
|
NEXT= ${COUNTER::=${COUNTER} a}${COUNTER:[#]}
|
|
|
|
# This variable is first set to empty and then expanded.
|
|
# See parse.c, function Parse_Var, keyword "!Var_Exists".
