Thanks Samuel, the problem is that

save('macros/%axesData_i_h.bin', '%axesData_i_h')

will produce a .sod file with a .bin extension. Both formats cannot be used indifferently for compiled macros of a library : in the following code (that can be copy/pasted), a library is built, the "fun1" function is saved in sod format, then the reference to "fun1.bin" is replaced by "fun1.sod" in the lib file :

path=TMPDIR+'/test/';
mkdir(path)
mputl('function y=fun1(x), y=x, end',path+'fun1.sci');
genlib('test',path)
save(path+'fun1.sod','fun1')
doc=xmlRead(path+'lib');
doc.root.children(1).attributes.file='fun1.sod';
disp(xmlDump(doc))
xmlWrite(doc,path+'lib');
clear
lib(TMPDIR+'/test/')

The following output is obtained:

!<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>                         !
! !
!<scilablib name="test"> !
! !
!  <macro name="fun1" file="fun1.sod" md5="a50d8a8cda2cd6036306e08e61ffcbeb"/>  !
! !
!</scilablib> !

Emplacement des fichiers des fonctions : /.

fun1

Unfortunately, calling fun1 crashes scilab...

Hello Stéphane,

I would try the following:
After genlibing the set of regular .sci files,
* save the clone with
   save('macros/%axesData_i_h.bin', "%axesData_i_h")
* add a line in the lib file
<macro  name="%axesData_i_h"  file="%axesData_i_h.bin"  
md5="e833d190e21b93af335a011ea9e76aef"/>
The MD5 hash is of the content of the .sci file, that here does not exist. It is use by genlib to check whether the .sci must be recompiled or not. You may try to set any md5 (or the cloned one). As long as you don't recompile the lib with genlib -- just loading it with load() or lib() --, this should work.

My 2 cents..

Hello,

With the new library system, it is no longer possible to clone a function in a library. This feature is still documented in the help page of "lib" but is not working anymore since saving a user-defined scilab function uses the sod/hdf5 format. Maybe one can ask why such a feature is needed ? Sometimes it can be usefull to have a function which is callable by different names but actually does the same thing. The different calling names can come from the adaptation for different types of data, which can sometimes lead to the same treatment, hence to the same function. Instead of writing two functions with the same source code but a different calling name, cloning the original one was an interesting feature.

I admit that the way it worked under scilab<6.x was not clean at all *but* officially documented in the "lib" help page. For example, imagine that a library has just been built (e.g. the plotlib...)

genlib('plotlib','macros')

I need to add to this library %axesData_i_h which is a clone of generic_i_h (in overloadinglib), which can be done in scilab<6.x by:

%axesData_i_h=generic_i_h;
save('macros/%axesData_i_h.bin',%axesData_i_h)
mputl([mgetl('macros/names');'%axesData_i_h'],'macros/names')

I said above "not clean at all", because the binary file "macros/lib" (which is created by the genlib call) does not need to be updated, as a subsequent

plotlib=lib("macros")

loads all functions, including %axesData_i_h


Doing things like this is not possible any more. It was was also to add persistent variables in libraries, with the same mechanism.

By the way, under scilab 6.0.1, the "macros/lib" is now an XML file with a clear syntax, e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<scilablib name="plotliblib">
  <macro name="%c_i_pltlibH" file="%c_i_pltlibH.bin" md5="d0966468b335a69681a29d84c99feb5c"/>   <macro name="%figureDa_i_h" file="%figureDa_i_h.bin" md5="a1ebda57a1607b28095def2e415e2ec1"/>
...
</scilablib>

It does not seem to be documented either.

S.
