Compatibility Considerations
On 64-bit platforms, you must use 64-bit integers for all input and output variables
when calling LAPACK and BLAS routines in C and Fortran source MEX-files. Use the
mwSignedIndex type for platform-independent code.
Object .o Files Saved on Macintosh Systems for Debugging
MATLAB saves object .o files when compiling MEX-files on Apple Mac OS Version 10.5
systems so that you can use source-level debugging.
Run-Time Libraries Required for Applications Built with Microsoft Visual
Studio 2008 Compiler
If you distribute a MEX-file, an engine application, or a MAT-file application built with
the Visual Studio 2008 compiler, you must provide the Visual C++ run-time libraries.
These files are required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer
that does not have Visual C++ 2008 installed. For information on locating the Microsoft
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86), containing vcredist_x86.exe and
vcredist_x64.exe, consult your Microsoft documentation.
New Features for Shared Library Interface
It is now possible to use the char** return value and to increment the resulting
pointer to retrieve all values. See Passing an Array of Strings.
Added support for accessing values exported by a library.
All fully and partly sized arrays should now work.
New Java Thread Safety Functions
Use the following new functions to work with Sun Java objects on the Event Dispatch
Thread (EDT).
Function Description
javaObjectEDT Construct Java object on EDT
javaMethodEDT Call Java method from EDT
