Suppose that you have an interface to a C++ library libname. Convert a MATLAB array of double.

a = [1 2 3 4];
arr = clibConvertArray('clib.libname.Double', a);
class(arr)

'clib.array.libname.Double'

Input Arguments

C++ type, specified as a string or a character vector. Supported types are:

  • Floating point types

  • Integer types

  • Boolean types

Character types are not supported except for the char type which is represented as an integer type.

C++ class names and void types are not supported.

MATLAB converts the names of fundamental C++ types to upper camel case. For example, typeName for C++ type signed int is SignedInt.

The type is a fully qualified C++ type name. For example, if a library libname defines a class myclass, then typeName is clib.libname.myclass.

Example: clib.libname.Double

Data Types: char | string

MATLAB array, specified as numeric MATLAB type.
