1 Introducing the MATLAB Compiler
1-16
Upgrading from Previous Versions
MATLAB Compiler 2.0
The MATLAB Compiler 2.1 does not support the -V1.2 option that was
available in Compiler 2.0.
MATLAB Compiler 1.2
Compatibility
The MATLAB Compiler 2.1 is fully compatible with previous releases of the
Compiler. If you have M-files that were compiled with a previous version of the
Compiler and compile them with the new version, you will get the same results.
Installation
The MATLAB 6 (Release 12) installer automatically installs Compiler 2.1.
Once you install and configure Compiler 2.1, you can compile your M-files from
either the MATLAB prompt or the DOS or UNIX command line. For more
information about installation, see Chapter 2, “Installation and
Configuration.”
MATLAB Compiler 1.0/1.1
In many cases, M-code that was written and compiled in MATLAB 4.2 will
work as is in MATLAB 6 as well as the MATLAB 5 series. There are, however,
certain changes that could impact your work, especially if you integrated
Compiler-generated code into a larger application.
Changed Library Name
Beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the shar ed library that contains
compiled versions of most MATLAB M-file math routines,
libtbx,has
changed. The new library is now called
libmmfile.
Changed Data Type Names
In C, beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the basic MAT LAB data type,
Matrix, has changed. The new name for the data type is mxArray.
In C++, beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the basic MATLAB data
type,
mwMatrix, has changed. The new name for the data type is mwArray.
