Pointer writing (Scilab gateway)
How to write pointer in a gateway.
Create from existing data.
        Syntax
Input argument profile:
SciErr createPointer(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, const void* _pvPtr)
Named variable profile:
SciErr createNamedPointer(void* _pvCtx, const char* _pstName, void const** _pvPtr)
Arguments
- _pvCtx
- Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h 
- _iVar
- Position in the Scilab memory where you want to put the variable 
- _pstName
- Name of the variable for "named" functions. 
- _pvPtr
- Address of pointer. 
- SciErr
- Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number. 
Write directly in Scilab memory.
        Syntax
SciErr allocPointer(void* _pvCtx, int _iVar, void** _pvPtr)
Arguments
- _pvCtx
- Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h. 
- _piAddress
- Address of the Scilab variable. 
- _pvPtr
- Return address of pointer. 
- SciErr
- Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number. 
Description
This help describes how pointer can be handled through the Scilab API.
Two types of functions can be used to write in the memory of Scilab.
