Avoid Copying MEX array to C Struct
6 views (last 30 days)

I am new to MEX. From the "phonebook.c" example, it appears that copying is required from prhs[] to a C struct . . . using either memcpy() or mxDuplicateArray().
In my case, prhs[] will be very large, (megabytes). Copying is not ideal.
Is there a way, using MEX commands, to set a pointer to a C struct to prhs[] and avoid copying??
Thanks in advance.

The array duplication is only required, when an input array is modified and replied as output. In all other cases you can use the pointer to the array data inside the Mex file also without any problems.
