Is there a way to declare extern's?

[Cam Woods]

I have some script in .js files that refers to some external variables declared on the page html, some generated by .Net, some by my C# code.  Right now they're being considered undeclared variables.  I can't use jsl:import because the variables are generated dynamically so there's no design-time file to point to.

Is there a way to do something like

// jsl:extern xyz

to specify that xyz is declared externally and that Lint shouldn't generate the undeclared var warning about it?

Currently you can only do that in the configuration file.

Do you need a control comment for this? If so, to be consistent, I would suggest /*jsl:define xyz*/.

[Cam Woods]

Yes, something like jsl:define would be good.  I was thinking jsl:extern because that's the C/C++ equivalent.

By the way, do I have to use
/* jsl:define xyz */
or can I use
// jsl:define xyz
?  I prefer the // notation.

This control comment is not currently supported, but if it would be, yes, it would be in the /*jsl:define abc*/ format.

It would be possible to support //jsl:cc syntax if there's a compelling reason to do so.
