In particular, the set of valid values for +\fImethodName\fR 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 context of the method +(i.e. the object that is returned by \fBself object\fR) from which the +\fBmy\fR command is invoked. +.PP +Each object has its own \fBmy\fR command, contained in its instance namespace. +.SH EXAMPLES +.PP +This example shows basic use of \fBmy\fR to use the \fBvariables\fR method of +the \fBoo::object\fR class, which is not publicly visible by default: +.PP +.CS +oo::class create c { + method count {} { + \fBmy\fR variable counter + print [incr counter] + } +} +c create o +o count \fI\(-> prints "1"\fR +o count \fI\(-> prints "2"\fR +o count \fI\(-> prints "3"\fR +.CE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +next(n), oo::object(n), self(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +method, method visibility, object, private method, public method + +.\" Local variables: +.\" mode: nroff +.\" fill-column: 78 +.\" End: |
