   2# Detect broken &&-chains in tests.
   3#
   4# At present, only &&-chains in subshells are examined by this linter;
   5# top-level &&-chains are instead checked directly by the test framework. Like
   6# the top-level &&-chain linter, the subshell linter (intentionally) does not
   7# check &&-chains within {...} blocks.
   8#
   9# Checking for &&-chain breakage is done line-by-line by pure textual
  10# inspection.
  11#
  12# Incomplete lines (those ending with "\") are stitched together with following
  13# lines to simplify processing, particularly of "one-liner" statements.
  14# Top-level here-docs are swallowed to avoid false positives within the
  15# here-doc body, although the statement to which the here-doc is attached is
  16# retained.
  17#
  18# Heuristics are used to detect end-of-subshell when the closing ")" is cuddled
  19# with the final subshell statement on the same line:
  20#
  21#    (cd foo &&
  22#        bar)
  23#
  24# in order to avoid misinterpreting the ")" in constructs such as "x=$(...)"
  25# and "case $x in *)" as ending the subshell.
  26#
  27# Lines missing a final "&&" are flagged with "?!AMP?!", and lines which chain
  28# commands with ";" internally rather than "&&" are flagged "?!SEMI?!". A line
  29# may be flagged for both violations.
  30#
  31# Detection of a missing &&-link in a multi-line subshell is complicated by the
  32# fact that the last statement before the closing ")" must not end with "&&".
  33# Since processing is line-by-line, it is not known whether a missing "&&" is
  34# legitimate or not until the _next_ line is seen. To accommodate this, within
  35# multi-line subshells, each line is stored in sed's "hold" area until after
  36# the next line is seen and processed. If the next line is a stand-alone ")",
  37# then a missing "&&" on the previous line is legitimate; otherwise a missing
  38# "&&" is a break in the &&-chain.
  39#
  40#    (
  41#         cd foo &&
  42#         bar
  43#    )
  44#
  45# In practical terms, when "bar" is encountered, it is flagged with "?!AMP?!",
  46# but when the stand-alone ")" line is seen which closes the subshell, the
  47# "?!AMP?!" violation is removed from the "bar" line (retrieved from the "hold"
  48# area) since the final statement of a subshell must not end with "&&". The
  49# final line of a subshell may still break the &&-chain by using ";" internally
  50# to chain commands together rather than "&&", so "?!SEMI?!" is never removed
  51# from a line (even though "?!AMP?!" might be).
  52#
  53# Care is taken to recognize the last _statement_ of a multi-line subshell, not
  54# necessarily the last textual _line_ within the subshell, since &&-chaining
  55# applies to statements, not to lines. Consequently, blank lines, comment
  56# lines, and here-docs are swallowed (but not the command to which the here-doc
  57# is attached), leaving the last statement in the "hold" area, not the last
  58# line, thus simplifying &&-link checking.
  59#
  60# The final statement before "done" in for- and while-loops, and before "elif",
  61# "else", and "fi" in if-then-else likewise must not end with "&&", thus
  62# receives similar treatment.
  63#
  64# Swallowing here-docs with arbitrary tags requires a bit of finesse. When a
  65# line such as "cat <<EOF >out" is seen, the here-doc tag is moved to the front
  66# of the line enclosed in angle brackets as a sentinel, giving "<EOF>cat >out".
  67# As each subsequent line is read, it is appended to the target line and a
  68# (whitespace-loose) back-reference match /^<(.*)>\n\1$/ is attempted to see if
  69# the content inside "<...>" matches the entirety of the newly-read line. For
  70# instance, if the next line read is "some data", when concatenated with the
  71# target line, it becomes "<EOF>cat >out\nsome data", and a match is attempted
  72# to see if "EOF" matches "some data". Since it doesn't, the next line is
  73# attempted. When a line consisting of only "EOF" (and possible whitespace) is
  74# encountered, it is appended to the target line giving "<EOF>cat >out\nEOF",
  75# in which case the "EOF" inside "<...>" does match the text following the
  76# newline, thus the closing here-doc tag has been found. The closing tag line
  77# and the "<...>" prefix on the target line are then discarded, leaving just
  78# the target line "cat >out".
  79#
  80# To facilitate regression testing (and manual debugging), a ">" annotation is
  81# applied to the line containing ")" which closes a subshell, ">>" to a line
  82# closing a nested subshell, and ">>>" to a line closing both at once. This
  83# makes it easy to detect whether the heuristics correctly identify
  84# end-of-subshell.
