It would be interesting to have a pointer to this article. It looks very 
unlikely, or even wrong.
A requirement indicated in Scilab documentation is about the calling 
convention:

Limitations to Shared Library Support
-------------------------------------
.../...
  Scilab shared library interface (call function) supports only C and 
fortran libraries
  routines.
  In others cases, we recommend to use api_scilab interfaces.

  Troubleshooting Shared Library Applications (Windows)
----------------------------------------------------
Some shared libraries, compiled as Microsoft Windows 32 or 64 bit 
libraries, use a
  calling convention that is incompatible with the default Scilab 
calling convention.
The default calling convention for Scilab and for Microsoft C and C++ 
compilers is
  cdecl.
  For more information, see the MSDN® Calling Conventions and Wikipedia 
articles.
