Introduction
Suppose you want to create an application that calculates the
rank of a large magic square. One way to create this application is
to code the whole application in C or C++; however, this would require
writing your own magic square, rank, and singular value routines.
An easier way to create this application is to write it as one or
more M-files, taking advantage of the power of MATLAB and its
tools.
You can create MATLAB applications that take advantage
of the mathematical functions of MATLAB, yet do not require that
end users own MATLAB. Standalone applications are a convenient
way to package the power of MATLAB and to distribute a customized
application to your users.
The source code for standalone C applications consists either
entirely of M-files or some combination of M-files, MEX-files, and
C or C++ source code files.
MATLAB Compiler takes your M-files and generates C source
code functions that allow your M-files to be invoked from outside
of interactive MATLAB. After compiling this C source code, the
resulting object file is linked with the run-time libraries. A similar
process is used to create C++ standalone applications.
You can call MEX-files from MATLAB Compiler generated standalone
applications. The MEX-files will then be loaded and called by the
standalone code.
