#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Detect broken &&-chains in tests.
#
# At present, only &&-chains in subshells are examined by this linter;
# top-level &&-chains are instead checked directly by the test framework. Like
# the top-level &&-chain linter, the subshell linter (intentionally) does not
# check &&-chains within {...} blocks.
#
# Checking for &&-chain breakage is done line-by-line by pure textual
# inspection.
#
# Incomplete lines (those ending with "\") are stitched together with following
# lines to simplify processing, particularly of "one-liner" statements.
# Top-level here-docs are swallowed to avoid false positives within the
# here-doc body, although the statement to which the here-doc is attached is
# retained.
#
# Heuristics are used to detect end-of-subshell when the closing ")" is cuddled
# with the final subshell statement on the same line:
#
#    (cd foo &&
#        bar)
#
# in order to avoid misinterpreting the ")" in constructs such as "x=$(...)"
# and "case $x in *)" as ending the subshell.
#
# Lines missing a final "&&" are flagged with "?!AMP?!", and lines which chain
# commands with ";" internally rather than "&&" are flagged "?!SEMI?!". A line
# may be flagged for both violations.
#
# Detection of a missing &&-link in a multi-line subshell is complicated by the
# fact that the last statement before the closing ")" must not end with "&&".
# Since processing is line-by-line, it is not known whether a missing "&&" is
# legitimate or not until the _next_ line is seen. To accommodate this, within
# multi-line subshells, each line is stored in sed's "hold" area until after
# the next line is seen and processed. If the next line is a stand-alone ")",
# then a missing "&&" on the previous line is legitimate; otherwise a missing
# "&&" is a break in the &&-chain.
#
#    (
#         cd foo &&
#         bar
#    )
#
# In practical terms, when "bar" is encountered, it is flagged with "?!AMP?!",
# but when the stand-alone ")" line is seen which closes the subshell, the
# "?!AMP?!" violation is removed from the "bar" line (retrieved from the "hold"
# area) since the final statement of a subshell must not end with "&&". The
# final line of a subshell may still break the &&-chain by using ";" internally
# to chain commands together rather than "&&", so "?!SEMI?!" is never removed
# from a line (even though "?!AMP?!" might be).
#
# Care is taken to recognize the last _statement_ of a multi-line subshell, not
# necessarily the last textual _line_ within the subshell, since &&-chaining
# applies to statements, not to lines. Consequently, blank lines, comment
# lines, and here-docs are swallowed (but not the command to which the here-doc
# is attached), leaving the last statement in the "hold" area, not the last
# line, thus simplifying &&-link checking.
#
# The final statement before "done" in for- and while-loops, and before "elif",
# "else", and "fi" in if-then-else likewise must not end with "&&", thus
# receives similar treatment.
#
# Swallowing here-docs with arbitrary tags requires a bit of finesse. When a
# line such as "cat <<EOF >out" is seen, the here-doc tag is moved to the front
# of the line enclosed in angle brackets as a sentinel, giving "<EOF>cat >out".
# As each subsequent line is read, it is appended to the target line and a
# (whitespace-loose) back-reference match /^<(.*)>\n\1$/ is attempted to see if
# the content inside "<...>" matches the entirety of the newly-read line. For
# instance, if the next line read is "some data", when concatenated with the
# target line, it becomes "<EOF>cat >out\nsome data", and a match is attempted
# to see if "EOF" matches "some data". Since it doesn't, the next line is
# attempted. When a line consisting of only "EOF" (and possible whitespace) is
# encountered, it is appended to the target line giving "<EOF>cat >out\nEOF",
# in which case the "EOF" inside "<...>" does match the text following the
# newline, thus the closing here-doc tag has been found. The closing tag line
# and the "<...>" prefix on the target line are then discarded, leaving just
# the target line "cat >out".
#
# To facilitate regression testing (and manual debugging), a ">" annotation is
# applied to the line containing ")" which closes a subshell, ">>" to a line
# closing a nested subshell, and ">>>" to a line closing both at once. This
# makes it easy to detect whether the heuristics correctly identify
# end-of-subshell.
