How can I create Tcl array in C procedure,
and how to create this array to Tcl script.
I tried to use Tcl_ObjSetVar2(interp, part1Ptr, part2Ptr, newValuePtr, flags)
but I do not know how to create Tcl_Obj *part1Ptr as Tcl array.

I tried like this:
Tcl_Obj *array = Tcl_NewObj();
Tcl_Obj *index = Tcl_NewStringObj("index_name", -1);
Tcl_Obj *value = Tcl_NewStringObj("element_value", -1);

Tcl_ObjSetVar2(interp, array, index, value, TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG);
Tcl_SetObjResult(interp, array);
return TCL_OK;

But it does not work. Any suggestions?
