MATLAB Compiler

Input and Output Files

This section describes the files created during the compilation process.

Stand-Alone Executable

In this example, the MATLAB Compiler takes the M-files foo.m and bar.m as input and generates a stand-alone executable called foo.

mcc -m foo.m bar.m


File	Description
`foo_main.c`	The main-wrapper C source file containing the program's `main` function. The `main` function takes the input arguments that are passed on the command line and passes them as strings to the `foo` function.
`foo_mcc_component_data.c`	C source file containing data needed by the MCR to run the application. This data includes path information, encryption keys, and other initialization information for the MCR.
`foo.ctf`	The CTF archive. This file contains a compressed and encrypted archive of the M-files that make up the application (`foo.m` and `bar.m`). It also contains other files called by the two main M-files as well as any other executable content and data files needed at run-time.
`foo`	The main executable file of the application. This file reads and executes the content stored in the CTF archive. On Windows, this file is `foo.exe`.
