In Scilab 6.0.0, we did not reproduce and intersci code generation as this is handled by another<br>
tool called `SWIG` [1] for multiple scripting (or not) languages. This idea is to let the tool parse<br>
an C interface description (similar to a .h file with directives) and generate the wrapper code for<br>
a specific language.<br>
<br>
Scilab is natively supported and the tool generates API Scilab code. IMHO this is way simpler to<br>
define in interface just writing C code instead of guessing what's the intersci encoding scheme :)<br>
for a specific parameter.<br>
