NAME
my - invoke any method of current object
SYNOPSIS
package require TclOO
my methodName ?arg ...?
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The my command is used to allow methods of objects to invoke any method
of the object (or its class). In particular, the set of valid values
for methodName is the set of all methods supported by an object and its
superclasses, including those that are not exported. The object upon
which the method is invoked is always the one that is the current con-
text of the method (i.e. the object that is returned by self object)
from which the my command is invoked.
Each object has its own my command, contained in its instance names-
pace.
EXAMPLES
This example shows basic use of my to use the variables method of the
oo::object class, which is not publicly visible by default:
oo::class create c {
method count {} {
my variable counter
puts [incr counter]
}
}
c create o
o count -> prints "1"
o count -> prints "2"
o count -> prints "3"
