# TIP 543: Export TclGetIntForIndex()
	Author:         Jan Nijtmans <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	State:          Draft
	Type:           Project
	Tcl-Version:    8.7
	Vote:           Pending
	Created:        15-May-2019
	Post-History:
	Discussions-To: Tcl Core list
................................................................................

  * int Tcl\_GetIntForIndex(Tcl\_Interp *interp, Tcl\_Obj *objPtr,
	    size\_t endValue, size\_t *indexPtr)

# Rationale

This function can be used for extensions to parse indexes like
"end-5", "12+1" ... See [TIP 502: Index Value Reform](502.md)







# Compatibility

This is fully upwards compatible with Tcl 8.6.

# Reference Implementation

Available on branch [tip-544](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/timeline?t=tip-544).
