Can MATLAB Coder generate C code for the function 'fmincon' from Optimization Toolbox?

The Code Generation Readiness report states Yes, but the function is not listed as Supported for C and C++ Code Generation. All my attempts with MATLAB Coder have failed. Is it possible for MATLAB Coder to generate C code for 'fmincon'?

Currently, fmincon does not support code generation. Sorry.

P.S. fmincon gained code generation in R2019b

So is there any alternative to it ? how can i use fmincon to do code generation if only fmincon gives me the optimal solution.

Hello Sandeep,

What kind of problem(s) are you solving with fmincon and what solver (interior-point, sqp, trust-region-reflective) are you using? Are you setting specific options such as using analytical gradients?

Code generation is available for fmincon starting in the R2019b release. Learn more here.
