mexw64 type file in Matlab


I download some mexw64. type files with some Matlab .m files. I want to ask how can I open them and investigate the code and algorithm through them? Is it possible to convert them to the .m file? (the windows in my laptop is 64 bit)


Solution

  • Unfortunately not, unless you can contact the author of the MEX file.

    MEX files are Matlab executable files. A MEX file is first written in C/C++/Fortran, and then compiled to a binary file with extension .mexw64 (Windows), .mexmaci64 (MacOS), or .mexa64 (Linux). The extension is chosen by the author, based on whether he/she intends the file to be used on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

    See the documentation for more information, and the Matlab Q&A site for possible indirect solutions.
