Simple example of how to use the codegen tool in Matlab

Matlab code to C/C++ code generation

This repository serves as a quick introduction to show how Matlab functions can generated to C/C++ code using Matlabs Codegen tool.

Structure

Place the Matlab code you want to autogenerate in a folder under matlab_code/<your_project> similarly to example_for_readme

.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── generate_code.m
├── matlab_code
│   └── example_for_readme
│       ├── Addition.m
│       └── main_addition_test.cpp
└── README.md

Then, by running generate_code.m, the autogenerated code will appear in a new folder called ./Addition. Inside generate_code.m you have to specify the input/output structure of the function you want to generate.

Building and running the code with Cmake

Open up a terminal in this folder and run

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
./main_addition_test

to run the autogenerated code example.
