MATLAB Compiler

Limitations and Restrictions

MATLAB Code

This version of the MATLAB Compiler supports almost all of the functionality of MATLAB. However, there are some limitations and restrictions that you should be aware of. Although this version of the MATLAB Compiler cannot compile the following, a future version will be able to compile them:

• Script M-files (See Converting Script M-Files to Function M-Files in Chapter 3 for further details.)
• M-files that use objects
• M-files that use input or eval to manipulate workspace variables.

Note    input and eval calls that do not use workspace variables will compile and execute properly.

The Compiler cannot compile built-in MATLAB functions (functions such as eig have no M-file, so they can't be compiled). Note, however, that most of these functions are available to you because they are in the MATLAB Math Built-in Library (libmatlb).

In addition, the Compiler does not honor conditional global and persistent declarations. It treats global and persistent as declarations. For example,

if (y==3)
    persistent x
else
    x = 3;
end
