In Rust, is there a way to access the variable (that is declared in the main context) in the inner context while it is shadowed in the inner context?
Below is the code I tried. Looks like scope operator :: is not supported in Rust?
fn main() {
let top_variable = 1;
{
println!("top variable in inner scope before shadowing = {}", top_variable);
let top_variable = "abc";
println!("top variable in the inner scope = {}", top_variable);
println!("top variable accessed in the inner scope using scope parameter = {}", ::top_variable);
}
println!("top variable back in the main scope = {}", top_variable);
let top_variable = 100;
println!("top variable in the main scope and modified = {}", top_variable);
}

It's perfectly well supported, it means "global path" so needs to be followed by a crate name (in edition 2018 and later).
