Thread Subject: [MEX] mxCreateStructMatrix in Fortran

Hello everyone,

I'm having problems using mxCreateStructMatrix.

I created a gateway function in Fortran ("test.F") looking like this :

#include <fintrf.h>
C
C TESTSTRUCT.F - Gateway function for TESTSTRUCT.F

      SUBROUTINE MEXFUNCTION(NLHS, PLHS, NRHS, PRHS)

      MWPOINTER PLHS(*), PRHS(*)
      INTEGER NLHS, NRHS
      MWPOINTER MXCREATEDOUBLEMATRIX, MXGETPR, MXCREATESTRUCTMATRIX

C VARIABLES DECLARATION
C--------------------------------------------------------------------------
      REAL*4 NBFILD
      CHARACTER*12 FIELDS(6)

C VARIABLES INITIALISATION
C--------------------------------------------------------------------------
      NBFILD= 6
      FIELDS(1)='One'
      FIELDS(2)='Two'
      FIELDS(3)='Three'
      FIELDS(4)='Four'
      FIELDS(5)='Five'
      FIELDS(6)='Six'
      PLHS(1) = MXCREATESTRUCTMATRIX(1, 1, NBFILD, FIELDS)
      
      RETURN
      END

I compiled it using "mex test.F". As you can see, it should do nothing but give back en empty structure matrix, but when I run :
A = test()
Matlab returns :
??? Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.

I know for sure it is comming from MXCREATESTRUCTMATRIX (I ran some tests).

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Fran?ois.

Francois,

The third argument needs to be an interger not real.

Change
REAL*4 NBFILD
to
INTEGER*4 NBFILD

I made this change and got your test to work.

Hope that helps,
Gadi
