make: reduce line length in error messages The error messages for deeply nested parse errors were hard to decipher, due to the large amount of text. Split these messages into individual lines, just as in the backtrace for .include files and .for loops. This unified backtrace makes the output more uniform.
make: don't run erroneous commands in compat mode When there is a parse or evaluation error in an expression that becomes part of the command, don't run that command, as the result of the failed evaluation typically contains garbage characters. Skip the remaining commands from that target as well, as they may depend on the erroneous command.
make: error out on parse/evaluation errors in shell commands
The expression ${VAR:X} has an unknown modifier ':X'. Previously, this
expression errored out when the expression was evaluated at parse time,
but not when the expression was evaluated when generating the commands
to bring a target up to date. The errors were previously reported, they
didn't affect the exit status, though.
Now, errors in expressions are handled in the same way, regardless of
the time at which they are evaluated.
make: error out on the "Bad modifier" error message Previously, the "Bad modifier" error message did not affect make's exit status. As a side effect, this kind of error now gets more context information.
tests/make: extend test suite, move old tests to 2020 scheme The tests from envfirst.mk are now in opt-env.mk. The tests from modword.mk are now in varmod-select-words.mk.
make(1): add dummies for fine-grained tests, one per single feature The test names have been derived from the current manual page. All these tests are dummies right now, and the code from the existing tests will be moved into the new tests step by step. This is done to prevent modmisc, escape, varmod-edge and varmisc from growing without any bounds, and to reduce the side-effects of one test to the others.
