Using Pathnames

IfyouspecifyafullpathnametoanM-fileonthemcc comm and line, MATLAB

Compiler

1 Breaks the full name into the corresponding pathname and filenames

path>and<file>).

2 Replaces the full pathname in the argument list with “-I <path> <file>”.

For example,

mcc -m /home/us

er/myfile.m

would b e treated as

mcc -m -I /home/

user myfile.m

In rare situations, this behavior can lead to a potential source of confusion.

For examp le, suppose you have two different M-files that are both nam ed

myfile.m and they reside in /home/ user/dir1 and /home/user/dir2.The

command

mcc -m -I /home/

user/dir1 /home/user/ dir 2/myfile.m

would be equivalent to

mcc -m -I /home/

user/dir1 -I /home/user/dir2 myfile.m

MATLAB Compiler finds the myf ile.m in dir1 and compiles it instead of the

one in

dir2 because of the behavior of the -I option. If you are concerned that

this might be ha ppe nin g, you can spe cify the

-v option and then see wh ich

M-file MATLAB Com piler parses. The

-v option prints the full pathname to

the M-file during the dependency analysis phase.

Note MATLAB Compiler produces a warning (specifie d_fi le_mismatch)if

a file w ith a full pathname is included on the comm and line and MATLAB

Compiler finds it somewhe re else.
