Using the C Math Library

Managing Array Memory

Introduction

This section shows you how to manage array memory in the functions that you write with the MATLAB C Math Library. The section:

• Explains automated memory management and compares it to explicit memory management.
• Provides step-by-step guidelines for writing a routine that uses automated memory management, including a template you can use as a starting point. Be sure to look over the example program later in this chapter.
• Outlines the restrictions for calling between functions that use automated memory management and functions that do not.
• Describes how to replace MATLAB's allocation and deallocation routines with your own routines.
