Fortran Source MEX Files

Write Fortran subroutines using MATLAB® API libraries

A MEX file lets you call a Fortran subroutine from MATLAB. To create a MEX file, you need:

For examples, see Tables of MEX Function Source Code Examples.

For information about writing S-functions using Fortran code, see your Simulink® documentation.

MEX files are not appropriate for all applications. MATLAB is a high-productivity environment whose specialty is eliminating time-consuming, low-level programming in compiled languages like Fortran. In general, do your programming in MATLAB. Do not use MEX files unless your application requires it.
