[Scilab-users] A way to manage and use homonymous builtin functions?

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello,

Would anyone know a way to call a builtin function in a specific gateway?

I mean: for a function in Scilab language, if several homonymous 
functions -- say thisfun() -- are available in distinct available 
libraries -- say scilib and mylib --, it is possible to call either the 
scilib one with scilib.thisfun(), or the mylib one with mylib.thisfun().

Is there a similar mechanism for builtin functions?

The use case is the following: the external scicv module redefines the 
write() Scilab builtin function as a new builtin. But the scicv instance 
is not compatible with the Scilab write(). And is called first (i guess 
because it has been loaded /after/ the io gateway of Scilab's write()). 
This makes Scilab some programs failing when scicv is loaded. This is 
reported on the scicv forge/ATOMS page.

So, i am looking for a way to point to the Scilab's write() in any case.

Thanks for any hints

Regards

Samuel
