-
The list that is generated when using the mex -setup and mbuild -setup commands refers to the Microsoft Visual C/C++ .NET 2003 Compiler as Microsoft Visual C/C++ 7.1, and refers to the Microsoft Visual C/C++ 2005 Compiler as Microsoft Visual C/C++ 8.0. Only the Professional Edition of the Microsoft Compiler (version 6.0, 7.1 or 8.0) is officially tested and supported by the MathWorks products.
-
In order to build .NET components, the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1 must be installed. This product can be downloaded from the Microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com
In order to deploy .NET components, the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 must be installed on the target system. This product can be downloaded from the Microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com
-
Version 6 of the Borland C++ Builder is packaged with Borland C/C++ Compiler 5.6. Version 5 of the Borland C++ Builder is packaged with Borland C/C++ Compiler 5.5.
-
Fortran compilers are only supported for creating Simulink S-functions using the MATLAB MEX command. The S-functions can be used with normal and accelerated simulations.
-
To use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on with MATLAB on 64-bit systems, the "X64 Compilers and Tools" must be chosen for installation during installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
Exception Handling
When using C++, the MATLAB Compiler relies on the availability of exception handling in the C++ language. Several of the supported compilers do not properly support C++ exception handling. Consequently, our support for exception handling is limited on those platforms.
