+I am not able to answer this question, please ask it to Claude Gomez
+who wrote this document.
+

+
+
+
+If you have Scilab-4.0 installed you can play with it. The
+preliminary version of Scilab2tree is named macr2tree.
+
+here is very simple example of use
+
+-->function y=foo(x)
+-->  y=x+1
+-->endfunction
+
+-->t=macr2tree(foo)
+
+It returns the full abstract syntax tree coded by a hierarchical
+structure of tlists and lists Scilab objects. To get a more readable
+display and also to illustrate how Scilab can deal with such a
+structure, I give you below a file of scilab functions for display
+overloading. If this file is loaded into Scilab
+
+--> exec %program_p.sci;
+
+The display of the t structure above become
+
+-->t
+ t  =
+ 
+Program
+Name   : foo
+Outputs: y
+Inputs : x
+Statements 
+    <EOL>
+    Equal
+      Expression: 
+        Operation
+           Operands:
+              x
+              1
+           Operator: +
+        EndOperation
+      Lhs       : 
+         y
+    EndEqual
+    <EOL>
+    Funcall  : return
+      #lhs   : 0
+      Rhs    : 
+              <empty>
+    EndFuncall
+    <EOL>
+EndProgram
+ 
+
+These functions work with your testscilab function too (but select
+case constructs are not yet handled). Just try it and look at the
+comment for the structure explanation
