[Scilab-Dev] type of structs and cells

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi all,

I hope some of you are still reading this list, which has a very low 
traffic these days... I just discovered, while working on

https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/20491/

https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/19114/

that cells have the same type number, although a different type string. 
Hence, when you want to differentiate between structs, cells, lists, 
mlists, tlists, you cannot rely on typeof(), since for mlists and tlists 
they return the usertype, neither on type(), since it does not make the 
difference between cells and structs. I know there exist isstruct() and 
iscell(), but why do we have the same type number ??

S.
