Steps for using MATLAB C/C++ Compiler with Visual C++

In Visual Studio:

0)  Create an empty C/C++ project.

 
In MATLAB:

1)  Write the m-file with one function to expose to C/C++.

        function [xp, length] = ExpandArray( x, interval)
        xp = 0:interval:x(length(x));
        length = length(xp);

2)  Create a deployment project (File->New->Deployment Project).

3)  Add m-file to “Exported functions” in deployment project.

4)  Change the settings of the deployment project to put the output directory output to the directory of the source files for the C/C++ project.  Set the Library Name (e.g. “Functions”).
In Visual Studio:

5)  Right-click on the project->Properties.

5a) Under C/C++->General, add the directory of the MATLAB header files to “Additional Include Directories”:

      "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\include"

5b) Under Linker->Input, add the directory of the MATLAB libraries and the location of your newly created MATLAB library to “Additional Dependencies”:

      "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\lib\win32\microsoft\mclmcrrt.lib"
      "C:\...\Functions.lib", where "..." is the path of the output directory set in step 4

6)  Add the created header file to your project and include it in your C/C++ code where appropriate.

7)  In your C/C++ code, initialize the MATLAB component:

      bool ret = FunctionsInitialize();
      if (!ret){
        std::cout << "Error initializing MATLAB Component Runtime\n";
        system("PAUSE");
        return 0;
      }

8)  Create the input variables to the MATLAB function:

      double x[4] = {1,2,3,4};
      mwArray mwX(1,4,mxDOUBLE_CLASS);
      mwX.SetData(x,4);
      mwArray mwInterval((double) 0.1);
      int nargout = 2; // this says you will be using 2 outputs, xp and length

9)  Create the output variables from the MATLAB function:

      mwArray mwXP;
      mwArray mwLength;

10) Call your function:

      ExpandArray(nargout, mwXP, mwLength, mwX, mwInterval);

11) Get the data out of the mwArrays:

      int length;
      mwLength.GetData(&length, 1);
      double *xp = new double[length];
      mwXP.GetData(xp, length);

12) Terminate the use of the MATLAB component:

      FunctionsTerminate();

 
Notes:

If you only want to return one variable from your MATLAB function, set
nargout to 1 and the return variable will be as such:
  int returnVariable = MyFunction(nargout, inputVariable);

  8. In papa’s pizzeria, you play as Roy, an unsuspecting delivery boy who suddenly finds himself in charge of a bustling pizzeria after the owner, Papa Louie, leaves town. With no prior experience, Roy must take on the challenge of running the entire operation, from taking orders to baking pizzas and serving customers. The game is set in a colorful, cartoonish world where customer satisfaction is key to success.

  14. Thank you for this detailed post on using MATLAB and Visual C++ compiler! It’s always helpful to see such clear instructions for technical tasks.

    In addition to technical resources, it’s important to also consider financial resources for those looking to further their education. For example, the Pell Grant for single mothers is an excellent opportunity for single moms who want to pursue higher education but need financial assistance. This grant can help cover tuition costs, making education more accessible and achievable.

    Looking forward to more useful technical insights and discussions on supporting education for all!

  15. Thank you for the detailed steps on using the MATLAB C/C++ Compiler with Visual C++! It’s always helpful to have a clear guide for integrating different development tools. On a different note, I’ve been researching resources outside of programming, such as housing assistance for single mothers, which can be a vital support system for those balancing careers in tech while managing personal responsibilities. Just like how programming tools make development smoother, these assistance programs are crucial for ensuring stability and success for single moms in challenging times. Thanks again for the helpful post!
