I doubt it, but I don't know any details about the Simulink Profiler.

Hi Steve,

When I run the Simulink Report, the result is a report.
Do you know if it is possible to use profile('info') and
get the result of Simulink Profiler?

Juliana

Hi Steve,

When I run the Simulink Profiler, the result is showed in a
report.
Do you know if it is possible to use "profile('info')" and
get the result of the Simulink Profiler?

Juliana

callstats was an early incarnation of the 2nd generation MATLAB Profiler
that was introduced in MATLAB 5.3 (R11). Since then, the profiler has
been substantially revised and enhanced, and it has been extended to
other parts of the product line, such as Simulink. The old callstats
function is no longer used. All the information that callstats used to
provide, and much more, is returned by:

profile('info')

See the profile reference page for more information.

Information on a undocumented function (callstats)

Paulo Pegado — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:04:04 -0400

Hi Folks,

I've been working on a script to create a custom html report
with data from the Simulink Profiler Report. In my studies I
encountered a function called 'callstats' (saw it in a post
from Ned Gulley, "Getting code coverage information
programmatically".

Anyway, I looked everywhere for some documentation on this
function and didn't find it anywhere.

Ned in it's reply cited that this function is undocumented
and may change in the future. But hey, there must be some
source of knowledgement about this particular function.

Anybody knows where can I get some information about this
'callstats' function?

Thanks.
