# In the body of the .for loop, the iteration variables can be accessed
# like normal variables, even though they are not really variables.
#
# Instead, the expression ${var} is transformed into ${:U1}, ${:U2} and so
# on, before the loop body is evaluated.
#
# A notable effect of this implementation technique is that the .for
# iteration variables and the normal global variables live in separate
# namespaces and do not influence each other.

# From https://gnats.netbsd.org/29985.
#
# Until 2008-12-21, the .for loop was expanded by replacing the variable
# value literally in the body.  This could lead to situations where the
# characters from the variable value were interpreted as markup rather than
# plain text.
#
# Until 2012-06-03, the .for loop had split the words at whitespace, without
# taking quotes into account.  This made it possible to have variable values
# like "a:\ a:\file.txt" that ended in a single backslash.  Since then, the
# variable values have been replaced with expressions of the form ${:U...},
# which are not interpreted as code anymore.
#
# As of 2020-09-22, a comment in for.c says that it may be possible to
# produce an "unwanted substitution", but there is no demonstration code yet.
#
# The above changes prevent a backslash at the end of a word from being
# interpreted as part of the code.  Because of this, the trailingBackslash
# hack in Var_Subst is no longer needed and as of 2020-09-22, has been
# removed.
.for path in a:\ a:\file.txt d:\\ d:\\file.txt
.  info ${path}
.endfor

# Ensure that braces and parentheses are properly escaped by the .for loop.
# Each line must print the same word 3 times.
# See GetEscapes.
.for v in ( [ { ) ] } (()) [[]] {{}} )( ][ }{
.  info $v ${v} $(v)
.endfor

# As of 2020-10-25, the variable names may contain arbitrary characters,
# except for whitespace.  This allows for creative side effects. Hopefully
# nobody is misusing this "feature".
