1 Introducing the MATLAB Compiler
1-4
New Features
MATLAB Compiler 3.0
• The MATLAB Compiler now includes the MATLAB C/C++ Math and
Graphics Libraries.
Note As the MATLAB Compiler evolves, it will support additional standard
platform interfaces such as COM, Java, and CORBA. Consequently, the
requirement of developing code specifically for the MATLAB C/C++ Math
Library will diminish. Once this happens, the Math Library will no longer
support code written directly for the Library. The Compiler will continue to
use the MATLAB C/C++ Math Library as it currently does.
• A new optimization is available that allows the Compiler to use simpler types
for variables at run-time, when possible. For more information about this
optimization, see Chapter 6, “Optimizing Performance.”
• The MATLAB Compiler allows you to create COM components from
MATLAB M-files.
Note To create COM components with the MATLAB Compiler, you must
have the MATLAB COM Builder product installed on your system.
MATLAB Compiler 2.3
MATLAB Compiler 2.3 allows you to create Microsoft Excel components from
MATLAB M-files. This Windows-only feature translates a collection of M-files
into a single Microsoft Excel add-in. Both C and C++ code generation are
supported.
To support the creation of these components, the following Compiler options
have been added or enhanced:
• The bundle option (
-B) has been enhanced so that you can include
replacement parameters for Compiler options that accept names and version
numbers and they will be expanded properly.
