# $NetBSD: escape.mk,v 1.15 2023/10/19 18:24:33 rillig Exp $
#
# Test backslash escaping.

# Extracts from the POSIX 2008 specification
# <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/make.html>:
#
#     Comments start with a <number-sign> ( '#' ) and continue until an
#     unescaped <newline> is reached.
#
#     When an escaped <newline> (one preceded by a <backslash>) is found
#     anywhere in the makefile except in a command line, an include
#     line, or a line immediately preceding an include line, it shall
#     be replaced, along with any leading white space on the following
#     line, with a single <space>.
#
#     When an escaped <newline> is found in a command line in a
#     makefile, the command line shall contain the <backslash>, the
#     <newline>, and the next line, except that the first character of
#     the next line shall not be included if it is a <tab>.
#
#     When an escaped <newline> is found in an include line or in a
#     line immediately preceding an include line, the behavior is
#     unspecified.
#
# Notice that the behaviour of <backslash><backslash> or
# <backslash><anything other than newline> is not mentioned.  I think
# this implies that <backslash> should be taken literally everywhere
# except before <newline>.
#
# Our practice, despite what POSIX might say, is that "\#"
# in a variable assignment stores "#" as part of the value.
# The "\" is not taken literally, and the "#" does not begin a comment.
#
# Also, our practice is that an even number of backslashes before a
# newline in a variable assignment simply stores the backslashes as part
# of the value, and treats the newline as though it was not escaped.
# Similarly, an even number of backslashes before a newline in a
# command simply uses the backslashes as part of the command, but
# does not escape the newline.  This is compatible with GNU make.
