A.2.7 Calling Other Functions in Mex-Files

It is also possible call other Octave functions from within a mex-file using mexCallMATLAB. An example of the use of mexCallMATLAB can be see in the example below

If this code is in the file ‘myfeval.c’, and is compiled to ‘myfeval.mex’, then an example of its use is

myfeval("sin", 1)
a = myfeval("sin", 1)
⇒ Hello, World!
    I have 2 inputs and 1 outputs
    I'm going to call the interpreter function sin
    a =  0.84147

Note that it is not possible to use function handles or inline functions within a mex-file.
