Variable resolution ------------------- Unlike the variable command in Tcl, the variable command in Jim Tcl is an identical analog to the global command. The variable command creates a link from a local variable to a namespace variable. ** Invoked with two arguments, it also sets the value of the linked variable. namespace eval ::test { variable myvar 4 } ** For example, the following procedure uses 'variable' to access myvar. proc ::test::myproc {} { variable myvar incr myvar } Note that there is no automatic resolution of namespace variables. For example, the following will *not* work. namespace eval ::test { variable myvar 4 } namespace eval ::test { # This will increment a local variable, not ::test::myvar incr myvar } In the same way that variable resolution does not "fall back" to global variables, it also does not "fall back" to namespace variables.
