mexcppclass

MEX function and a library for wrapping, managing and using C++ resources objects, function and classes within MATLAB.

Usage

1. Compile cppmexclass mex function.
2. Create resource wrapper and export create/destory functions.
   Wrapper and functions can reside inside mexcppclass mex function or can
   reside inside a shared library:
   • wrapper for C++ resource which implements mexcppclass::ModuleInterface,
   • write and export functions for creating wrapper instance
     void Destroy<ClassName>ModuleInterface(mexcppclass::ModuleInterface *obj)
     and destroying wrapper instance
     void Destroy<ClassName>ModuleInterface(mexcppclass::ModuleInterface *obj).
3. Put created .(dll|so) library and mexcppclass mex
   in the same directory. Object can be accessed by Matlab by use of commands:

% Create wrapper handle
handle = mexcppclass('create', 'ClassName=LibraryName.so')
% Create object constructor
mexcppclass('call', handle, 'create');
% Call simple methods
mexcppclass('call', handle, 'setvalue', 10);
v = mexcppclass('call', handle, 'getvalue');
% destroy object and wrapper
mexcppclass('destroy', handle);

Example

See test/unit/testmodule.hpp and test/unit/testmodule.cpp for as a reference
point.
