addinter

new functions interface dynamic link at run time.

Calling Sequence

addinter(files, spname, fcts)

Arguments

:files a character string or a vector of character string contain

object files used to define the new Scilab interface routine (interface code, user routines or libraries, system libraries).

: :spname a character string. Name of interface routine entry point : :fcts vector of character strings. The name of new Scilab function

implemented in the new interface (in fin the order ).

:

Description

addinter performs dynamic link of a compiled C or Fortran new Scilab interface routine and define corresponding scilab functions.

You can use the command link(‘show’) to get the number of the shared libraries. And to reload a new version of an interface a call to ulink is necessary to get rid of the old version.

See link for more precision on use.

Number of ‘addinter’ in a scilab session can be limited by the operating system. On Windows, you cannot load more than 80 dynamic libraries at the same time.

Number of functions implemented in a interface is limited to 1000.
