Hi,
The boost port shows a typical example of using "eval" and "subst" to ensure
the variable values are substituted immediately.
In a nutshell, put the whole block where you want to force using the current
values of all variables inside the curly braces of
eval [subst {}]
That seems to do the trick all right. I was a bit hoping for a `foreach` option
to make limit the scope of the loop variable and all variables declared inside
the loop, but that would probably be much more complicated to implement.
Is this the "strongly preferred" way or is it just as fine to use `if
{[variant_isset xx]}` or `if {${subport} eq ...}`?
No, it's pretty much a terrible idea. Just don't use braces if you want
substitution.
