Calling Built-In Functions from C or C++

To enable a C or C++ program to call a a built-in function directly, you must write an M-file wrapper around each built-in function you wish to access outside of MATLAB. This is necessary because there are no C callable interfaces to built-in functions. For example, to use the magic function in a deployed application, you can use this M-file.

• function magicsquare(n)
  %MAGICSQUARE generates a magic square matrix of the size specified
  %    by the input parameter n.

  if (ischar(n))
      n=str2num(n);
  end
  magic(n)
