Usage of "eval" inside if

[kalyan]

Hi,
I am using make-3.81 and experimented with "eval" in this code:

### MAKEFILE START
VAR:=0

define change_value
VAR:=1
endef

define test_var
        if [ 1 = 0 ];then \
                DUMMY=$(eval $(change_value)); \
        fi; \
        echo $(VAR)
endef

all:
        @$(test_var)

### MAKEFILE END

I expected the output on my console to be 0 but i got 1 ?
Any hints on what might be going wrong here are appreciated.


Regards
Kalyan
