Interface IGlobalVariable


public interface IGlobalVariable

A global variable declared in an evaluation context.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. IEvaluationContext.newVariable can be used to obtain an instance.

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
