Hello René,
With Scilab 5.3.0, late of 2010, we have introduce a new API that will
be compatible with new Scilab 6 environment.
The goal was to depreciate stackx.h interface too dependent on the
format of the old data storage format. ( called "stack" ).
This interface is defined in Scilab documentation :
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/section_57c66b650f71d7a7eaca3dfe608a4c08.html
During development of Scilab 6, we worked on a more efficient API:
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.1/en_US/api_scilab.html
If you want to write gateways and keep compatibility between 5 and 6,
prefer
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/section_57c66b650f71d7a7eaca3dfe608a4c08.html
If you want to write for Scilab 6 and more use
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.1/en_US/api_scilab.html
You can find examples in documentation or in the demonstration toolbox
'toolbox skeleton' in your Scilab installation folder.
(SCI/contrib/toolbox_skeleton)
For example the same gateway writes in both API:
--> edit("SCI/contrib/toolbox_skeleton/sci_gateway/c/sci_csum.c");
//compatible 5 and 6 version
--> edit("SCI/contrib/toolbox_skeleton/sci_gateway/c/sci_csum6.c");
//scilab 6 and more
Thank you for the report, we need to update or remove old examples.
Regards,
Antoine

Dear user or developer experienced in the new Scilab C API,
All the sub-directory:
scilab-6.0.1/share/scilab/modules/dynamic_link/examples/gateway,
giving a nice, non-trivial example of a gateway, seems an identical
copy of the same sub-directory in scilab-5.5.2.
Is there somewhere a version converted for scilab-6.0.1 ?
The conversion does not seem at all obvious to me. For example I
cannot see how the simple instructions given by: Port to the Scilab 6
C API, in: Gateways: from Scilab 5 to Scilab 6, could ever make this
gateway compatible with both the Scilab 5 and 6 APIs. (Is there a
"mapping" somewhere between the functions, etc, of the old and new
Scilab APIs as there is between Scilab and Matlab?)
The conversion of that gateway example --- with matrix multiplication
in C --- would be a far better example to: Getting started with
API_Scilab, than the rather trivial one given. At any rate as it
stands the sub-directory in question has no place within the current
scilab-6.0.1.
Thanks for any comment and maybe the location of an updated version of
this particular gateway example.
