DyLoader help dynamically load methods from a dynamic library using DyLib and some custom scripts
- if you are windows user, MinGW so you can enjoy gcc/g++ on Windows
- Open folder mexBased in main branch of the repository (disregard the name)
- Open and checkout
Wrapper.cpp
. It is the file that has been / will be compiled into a DLL Notice how every function has DYLIB_API. It is a must for Dylib to be able to extract the functions from the DLL - Now open
main.cpp
. It is the script we use to extract a function from DLL - Make sure you have the following files to proceed;
main.cpp, dylib.hpp, shared_lib.h, build.bat, wrapper.cpp
- The
shared_lib.h
andbuild.bat
has been prewritten to work on Windows(not tested on Linux or MacOs) - Go to your command prompt and navigate to mexBased folder/ the folder you have these files
- type
build.bat
If all goes good u should see 2 commands pop up and return nothing - type
g++ main.cpp -o main.exe
(if u leave the -o part, it will default to a.exe ) - type
main
and hit enter. You should seeSuccess Hello Success
Tool that extracts functions or variables from dynamic library at Run-time to compute MEX C++ functions dynamically using MATLAB Coder
Make sure all you've got MinGW if you are windows
- Make sure you include "dylib.hpp" in your custom script where you have your functions that are going to be used
- Make sure there's DYLIB_API infront of function names. (The functions you want to use)
- Edit build.bat according to the name of your file (or we can restrict the user here)
- Remember the function name you'd like to use and enter when prompted for it at some point in RAT
