Mixing M-Files and C or C++

The examples in this section illustrate how to mix M-files and C or C++ source code files:

• The first example is a simple application that mixes M-files and C code.
• The second example illustrates how to write C code that calls a compiled M-file.

One way to create a stand-alone application is to code some of it as one or more function M-files and to code other parts directly in C or C++. To write a stand-alone application this way, you must know how to

• Call the external C or C++ functions generated by the MATLAB Compiler.
• Handle the results these C or C++ functions return.

Note    If you include compiled M-code into a larger application, you must produce a library wrapper file even if you do not actually create a separate library. For more information on creating libraries, see Libraries.
