[Scilab-Dev] XMLDoc==XMLDoc definition

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello,

Before posting any report on Bugzilla, i would like to understand why we 
get [%t %t] instead of %t when we compare 2 XMLDoc objects. Is it a bug, 
or is it intentional?:
--> doc = xmlReadStr("<root><a att=""foo"" 
rib=""bar""><b>Hello</b></a></root>")
  doc  =
XML Document
url: Undefined
root: XML Element

--> doc2 = doc;
--> doc==doc2
  ans  =
   T T <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here
--> xmlDelete(doc), clear doc doc2

Since XMLDoc objects are of type 17, i was naively searching for a 
%XMLDoc_o_XMLDoc() overload.
But the XML module does not have such a macro overload.
I also searched in the XML src and gateway source directories, without 
success.
XML overloads are not documented. The only overload having a unit test 
is for size().

Any clue where the XMLDoc==XMLDoc comparison is defined?

If XMLDoc objects are not regular mlists, why a specific type code 
distinct from 17 has not been ascribed to them?

Thanks
Samuel
