@ -768,7 +768,7 @@ Pointers are supported by SWIG. A pointer can be returned from a wrapped C/C++ f
Also, thanks to the SWIG runtime which stores information about types, pointer types are tracked between exchanges Scilab and the native code. Indeed pointer types are stored alongside the pointer address.
A pointer is mapped to a Scilab structure (<a href="https://help.scilab.org/docs/5.5.2/en_US/tlist.html">tlist</a>), which contains as fields the pointer address and the pointer type (in fact a pointer to the type information structure in the SWIG runtime).
<br>
Why a native pointer is not mapped to a Scilab pointer (type name: "pointer", type ID: 128) ? The big advantage of mapping to a <tt>tlist</tt> is that it exposes a new type for the pointer in Scilab, type which can be acessed in Scilab with the <a href="https://help.scilab.org/docs/5.5.2/en_US/typeof.html">typeof</a> function, and manipulated using the <a href="https://help.scilab.org/docs/5.5.2/en_US/overloading.html">overloading</a> mechanism.

<ul>
<li>type tracking needs the SWIG runtime to be first initialized with the appropriate function (see the <a href="#Scilab_module_initialization">Module initialization</a> section).</li>
<li>for any reason, if a wrapped pointer type is unknown (or if the SWIG runtime is not initialized), SWIG maps it to a Scilab pointer. Also, a Scilab pointer is always accepted as a pointer argument of a wrapped function. The drawaback is that pointer type is lost.</li>
