Call C++ code from MATLAB?

Question

I have some code which I need to code in C++ due to heavy reliance on templates. I want to call this code from MATLAB: basically, I need to pass some parameters to the C++ c

Answer 1

The C++ files are actually compiled by an external compiler. Use mex -setup to select which one (here is a list of supported compilers). Therefore, you shouldn't have too many weird things happen, nor should you be too restricted by what you can do.

I did some MEX stuff last year, and my memory is a bit rusty, but you do need to construct MATLAB arrays using MEX functions. I found the MATLAB documentation adequate, and the whole experience not too painful.
