variable initialization help

Hi,

I mean that I want to set v1 to InitVal every time the process is re-evaluated.

If I set v1 before the if statement, what about the clocked process something like following:

ENTITY example IS
PORT (
   clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
   initval : IN INTEGER;
   ...
);
END ENTITY;
ARCHITECTURE rt OF example IS
...
   ex: PROCESS (clk)
      VARIABLE v1: INTEGER;
   BEGIN
      IF (rising_edge(clk)) THEN
         v1 := initval;   ---------------------------- if I initialize here
         IF (v1 < 100) THEN
            v1 := v1 + 1;
         END IF;
      END IF;
   END PROCESS;
END ARCHITECTURE;

Will the value of v1 be initialized to initval at every clock edge in this case?

Thank you for the help.
