When partcl unsets a variable, it breaks aliasing. Setting that variable
should set the original variable as well. You can see this when using
[global]:
mdiep~$ cat test.tcl
proc changeA {} {
global a
unset a # remove this and partcl outputs baz correctly
set a baz
}
set a foo
changeA
puts $a
mdiep~$ tclsh test.tcl
baz
mdiep~$ partcl test.tcl
foo
mdiep~$
Partcl currently nulls registers when unsetting variables, which has no
effect on the actual PMC. For a discussion of this issue, see the
"Variables, Aliasing, and Undefined-ness" thread on p6i.
