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 context 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 namespace.

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"
