Hello Mikel,
Regarding your first question, creating a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a good approach to solve your problem if you want to reuse your MATLAB code in a C++ project. By doing so, you can create a bridge between the two languages, allowing you to call your MATLAB functions from your C++ code.
As for your second question, you cannot simply save your MATLAB script as a DLL. The MATLAB Coder generates C++ code from your MATLAB code, which you then compile into a DLL. This generated C++ code will contain multiple files, including header files, source files, and a Visual Studio project file.
I recommend that you start by generating the C++ code using MATLAB Coder, then compiling it into a DLL using Visual Studio (or another C++ compiler). Here's a brief overview of the steps involved:
- Open MATLAB and load your MATLAB code.
- Use the MATLAB Coder app or the command line interface to generate C++ code from your MATLAB code. This will create a folder containing the generated C++ files.
- Open the Visual Studio project file in the generated folder.
- Build the project to create a DLL.
- Once you have the DLL, you can link it to your C++ project and call your MATLAB functions as if they were native C++ functions.
However, keep in mind that not all MATLAB functions can be easily converted to C++ functions. For example, some MATLAB functions use data types that are not supported in C++. Also, depending on the complexity of your code, you may need to manually edit the generated C++ code to make it more suitable for your needs.
I hope this helps!
