Re: tclsh does not export changes to env to child process


Yakov,

Thanks for the reply.

Apologies for confusion. 8.5 was version of tcl as reported by
tcl_version. Please find below more information. Note that
"filename_val" is printed only once -- by tclsh, but the child (bash)
does not see environment variable FILENAME.

Any specific information that you might want to see?

Stas.


$ which tclsh
/usr/bin/tclsh

$ cygcheck.exe -c tcl cygwin

$ cat test_env_export1.tcl
