mwIndex (C and Fortran) - Type for index values

Description

mwIndex is a type that represents index values, such as indices into arrays. Use this function for cross-platform flexibility. By default, mwIndex is equivalent to int in C. When using the mex -largeArrayDims switch, mwIndex is equivalent to size_t in C. In Fortran, mwIndex is similarly equivalent to INTEGER*4 or INTEGER*8, based on platform and compilation flags.

The C header file containing this type is:

#include "matrix.h"

In Fortran, mwIndex is a preprocessor macro. The Fortran header file containing this type is:

#include "fintrf.h"
