[src/trunk]: src/usr.bin/make make(1): improve .for loop documentation, clean...



details:   https://anonhg.NetBSD.org/src/rev/c3926d3da105

description:
make(1): improve .for loop documentation, clean up ForReadMore

The comma expression in ForReadMore may be a nice trick, but it's not as
easy to read as a simple if-then-else chain.  Test for '{' before '('
since BSD makefiles use braces by convention.

 /*-
  * Handling of .for/.endfor loops in a makefile.
  *
- * For loops are of the form:
+ * For loops have the form:
  *
- * .for <varname...> in <value...>
- * ...
- * .endfor
+ *     .for <varname...> in <value...>
+ *     # the body
+ *     .endfor
  *
- * When a .for line is parsed, all following lines are accumulated into a
- * buffer, up to but excluding the corresponding .endfor line.  To find the
- * corresponding .endfor, the number of nested .for and .endfor directives
- * are counted.
+ * When a .for line is parsed, the following lines are copied to the body of
+ * the .for loop, until the corresponding .endfor line is reached.  In this
+ * phase, the body is not yet evaluated.  This also applies to any nested
+ * .for loops.
  *
- * During parsing, any nested .for loops are just passed through; they get
- * handled recursively in For_Eval when the enclosing .for loop is evaluated
- * in For_Run.
- *
- * When the .for loop has been parsed completely, the variable expressions
- * for the iteration variables are replaced with expressions of the form
- * ${:Uvalue}, and then this modified body is "included" as a special file.
+ * After reaching the .endfor, the values from the .for line are grouped
+ * according to the number of variables.  For each such group, the unexpanded
+ * body is scanned for variable expressions, and those that match the variable
+ * names are replaced with expressions of the form ${:U...} or $(:U...).
+ * After that, the body is treated like a file from an .include directive.
  *
  * Interface:
  *     For_Eval        Evaluate the loop in the passed line.
