matlab: missing emxAPI header file during webcoder's build compilation (Generate Javascript Using Matlab Toolbox)
Raw
emxapi_webcoder_fix.m
%% BUG:
% Struggled with this for quite sometime, while trying out the MouseEvent, Event et al. Callback example
% in the 'CreateAppWithCallbacks' demo example. The bug was a missing emxAPI header file during build compilation
SOLUTION:
%% 1.1 Fix dynamically allocated arrays to use EMXARRAY
% - Use this to prevent webcoder compile errors
% WebCoder Bug:
% - configured by author to use c-style emxarray data structure,
% as was probably, the default in 2019.
% - unfortunately, mathworks introduced coder::array class template to be
% the default, when target language is C++
%

ccfg = coder.load('CodeConfig.mat');
ccfg.codeConfig.DynamicMemoryAllocationInterface = 'C';
