I use LOADLIBRARY, CALLLIB, and LIBPOINTER to obtain a pointer to an array of structures from an external library. I wish to iterate through each element in the array using pointer arithmetic. The following code worked in R2007a:

msgSizePtr   = libpointer('int32Ptr',  0);   %size of structure in bytes
msgPtr = calllib('TestDLL', 'Get_report_Messages', msgCountPtr, msgSizePtr, rc );
ptr = msgPtr
for j = 1:msgCountPtr.value
     ptr.value
     ptr = ptr + msgSizePtr.value;
end

When running this same code in MATLAB R2008a or later, I get the following error or a SEGV:

 ??? Can not offset a pointer to be greater then the size of the data pointed to
 Error in ==> testdllprog at 38
    ptr = ptr + msgSizePtr.value;

There has been a change in how MATLAB handles pointer arithmetic. Starting in R2009a, you no longer have to perform byte arithmetic to increment a pointer; instead, you can use standard pointer arithmetic. In other words, the following code will succeed on R2009a:

msgSizePtr   = libpointer('int32Ptr',  0);   %size of structure in bytes
msgPtr = calllib('TestDLL', 'Get_report_Messages', msgCountPtr, msgSizePtr, rc );
ptr = msgPtr
for j = 1:msgCountPtr.value
     ptr.value
     ptr = ptr + 1;
end
