[Scilab-Dev] GSoC '17 project details

[Aashay Singhal]

Hello Everyone,

I am Aashay Singhal (irc: aashay). Currently, I am a sophomore pursuing
B.Tech in CSE from International Institute of Information Technology,
Hyderabad, India.
I am comfortable with C/C++, Python, Matlab, GIT, SVN, Unity game engine,
OpenGL, BASH, SQL, HTML, CSS and Javascript.

I have been writing C/C++ codes for over 2 years now. I want  to contribute
to Scilab as I have been using similar softwares in my courses and it
matches my skill set.

I have been involved in fixing some bugs in scilab.
Merged bug fixes :- #4276 <http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4276>,
#14982 <http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14982>
Open bug fixes :- #14915 <http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14915>,

I read the GSOC project ideas list and I am interested in the following two
projects(in preference order) :-
1) Matlab MEX-files managament
   As per my understanding, this project will provide a wrapping of
MEX-file headers on scilab API. The MEX API is still incomplete. Also, some
existing problems with the module, for example, struct inside struct,
problems with xcos diagrams, etc are to be fixed. Many functions like
mexSetTrapFlag, mexErrMsgIdAndTxt and so on are not yet implemented and
need to be. Some of the implemented functions are not properly tested. I
have also been reading the Scilab API documentation.

2) Connection with OpenFoam
   According to me, OpenFoam API already exists and this project requires
to use that to implement an interface to use OpenFoam functions in Scilab.

I would love to contribute to Scilab this summer and further. I would like
to know more details regarding Matlab MEX-files management project.

Looking forward for guidance from mentors.


Sincerely,
Aashay Singhal
