Examples and How To

Check Code Using the Code Generation Readiness Tool

Run the code generation readiness tool at the command line or from the current folder browser.

Concepts

When to Generate Code from MATLAB Algorithms

Decide whether to generate code for your application.

Which Code Generation Feature to Use

Choose code generation feature for your application.

Prerequisites for C/C++ Code Generation from MATLAB

Code generation from MATLAB® code requires the MATLAB Coder™ product and a C/C++ compiler.

Differences Between Generated Code and MATLAB Code

Generated C/C++ code can behave differently than original MATLAB source code.

Code Generation Readiness Tool

Interpret code generation readiness tool report.

MATLAB Language Features Supported for C/C++ Code Generation

Use the MATLAB language features and functions that code generation supports.

MATLAB Code Design Considerations for Code Generation

When writing MATLAB for code generation, consider design constraints.

Troubleshooting

Unknown Output Type for coder.ceval

Define the output type for external C/C++ function calls.
