Pass Fixed-Sized Array Parameter

If the parameter is a fixed-sized array, then the number of dimensions and the type of the elements of a passed array must match those of the expected parameter.

Display Help for Interface

Suppose that you have an interface with the definition for function fcn. To run this example, follow the instructions in Build Interface for Fixed-Sized Array Example to generate a MATLAB^® interface named libFixedSized.

When you display help for libFixedSized, you see it contains a function fcn that takes a three element vector clib.array.libFixedSized.Double.

help clib.libFixedSized

Functions contained in clib.libFixedSized:
fcn                            -  clib.libFixedSized.fcn Representation of C++ function fcn.

help clib.libFixedSized.fcn

fcn -  clib.libFixedSized.fcn Representation of C++ function fcn.

  clib.libFixedSized.fcn(arr)
    Input Arguments
      arr            3 element vector clib.array.libFixedSized.Double  

Call Function in MATLAB

Create a clib array of three elements of type clib.array.libFixedSized.Double.

arr3 = clibArray("clib.libFixedSized.Double",3);

Call fcn.

clib.libFixedSized.fcn(arr3);

Build Interface for Fixed-Sized Array Example

This C++ header file defines a function that takes a fixed-sized array of type double as input. The size of the array is three.

void fcn(double arr[3]);

To run the example, save this code in a header file named FixedSized.hpp, then generate a MATLAB interface named libFixedSized following the instructions for creating an interface to a C++ library define by a Header-Only HPP File.
