mex.getCompilerConfigurations

Get compiler configuration information for building MEX files

Syntax

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations(lang)

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations(lang,list)

Description

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations returns an object cc containing information about the default compiler configurations used by the mex command. There is one configuration for each supported language.

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations(lang) returns an array of objects for the given language, lang.

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations(lang,list) returns information about the set of configurations, list.

Examples

Display Information for C Compiler

myCCompiler = mex.getCompilerConfigurations('C','Selected')

myCCompiler = 

  CompilerConfiguration with properties:

             Name: 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (C)'
     Manufacturer: 'Microsoft'
         Language: 'C'
          Version: '10.0'
         Location: 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0'
        ShortName: 'MSVC100'

    LinkerVersion: ''
           MexOpt: 'C:\Users\auser\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\mex_C_win64.xml'

MATLAB^® displays information depending on your architecture and your version of MATLAB.

Display Number of Supported C Compilers

cLanguageCC = mex.getCompilerConfigurations('C','Supported');
length(cLanguageCC)

ans =
    10

The number of compilers for your version of MATLAB might be different.

Input Arguments

lang — Language

'Any' (default) | 'C' | 'C++' | 'CPP' | 'Fortran'

Language, specified as one of these values.

'Any'	Default value. All supported languages.
'C'	All C compiler configurations, including C++ configurations.
'C++' or 'CPP'	All C++ compiler configurations.
'Fortran'	All Fortran compiler configurations.

list — Set of configurations

'Selected' (default) | 'Installed' | 'Supported'

Set of configurations, specified as one of these values.

'Selected'	The default compiler for each language.
'Installed'	All supported compilers mex finds installed on your system.
'Supported'	All compilers supported in the current release.

Output Arguments

cc — Compiler information

mex.CompilerConfiguration object or array of objects

Compiler information, specified as a mex.CompilerConfiguration object or array of mex.CompilerConfiguration objects. The mex.CompilerConfiguration class contains the following read-only properties.

Property	Purpose
Name	Compiler name.
ShortName	Text used to identify options file for the compiler.
Manufacturer	Name of the manufacturer of the compiler.
Language	Compiler language.
Version	(Windows® platforms only) Version of the compiler.
Location	(Windows platforms only) Folder where compiler is installed.
Details	More read-only properties about the compiler configuration. These properties depend on the compiler, platform, and release of MATLAB.
LinkerName	Linker name.
LinkerVersion	(Windows platforms only) Version of the linker.
MexOpt	Name and full path to options file.
Priority	The priority of this compiler.

Tips

• If you reinstall a compiler, then run mex -setup to update the compiler configuration information.
