The MATLAB Compiler Family
1-15
The Compiler takes your M-file(s) and can generate C or C++ code. It can also
generate a wrapper file depending on your specified target. This table shows
the wrapper files the Compiler can generate, their associated targets, and the
corresponding
-W option (wrapper).
Each numbered node in Figure 1-3, MATLAB Compiler Uses, indicates a
combination of C/C++ code and a wrapper that generates a specific target type.
The file(s) formed by combining the C/C++ code (denoted by “User C/C++
Code”) and the wrapper are then passed to the C/C++ compiler, which combines
them with any user-defined C/C++ programs, and eventually links them
against the appropriate libraries. The end result of this sequence is the target
as described in the table above.
