Notes on Code Translation to MATLAB(R)

  

This help page describes details particular to code translation using the CodeGeneration[Matlab] function. For general information applicable to all the functions in the CodeGeneration package, see CodeGenerationDetails.

Description

• 

The MATLAB® code generated by CodeGeneration[Matlab] is valid for MATLAB® version 6.5 (R13).

• 

In addition to the functions listed on the CodeGenerationDetails help page, the following Maple functions are recognized by CodeGeneration[Matlab]: cat, ceil, and floor.

• 

Generally, math functions recognized by CodeGeneration[Matlab] are translated to native functions in the MATLAB® library. Additionally, the Maple symbol Pi is translated to the constant pi.

• 

CodeGeneration[Matlab] translates printf statements to Print calls, but performs only limited analysis of the printf format string. Thus some formatting instructions (for example, precision for floats) are ignored in translation.

• 

Although MATLAB® 6.5 allows longer identifiers, the translator renames identifiers longer than 31 characters to ensure compatibility with older versions of MATLAB®.

• 

Any try/catch/finally clause in the original code is translated to a MATLAB® try/catch block; if more than one catch is present in the Maple input, the catch clause in the MATLAB® output will have a series of if statements, testing the value of lasterr.

• 

The equivalent of a Maple module in MATLAB® is a directory. Procedure module members correspond to .m files in this directory hierarchy.  All procedures are printed in sequence in the result of the MATLAB® command; comments indicate the appropriate place to put a piece of code in this directory hierarchy. Procedures that are exported module members are translated preceded by a comment modulename/procedurename.m:, while those that are local module members are translated preceded by a comment modulename/private/procedurename.m:.  Module local variables that are not procedures are declared as globals.
