Calling Built-In Functions from C or C++

To enable a C o r C++ program to call a built-in function directly, you must

write an M-file wrapper around each built-in function you want to access

outside of MATLAB. This is necessary because there are n o C callable

interfaces to built-in functions. For example, to use the

magic function in a

deployed application, you can use this M-file:

function m = magicsquare(n)

%MAGICSQUARE generates a magic square matrix of size specified

% by the input parameter n.

if (ischar(n))

n=str2num(n);

end
