Memory Usage

Reduce RAM, ROM, and stack space used by generated C/C++ code

Determine how to modify your MATLAB^® code so that the generated code uses less memory. When calling functions, control how data is passed by using the same variables for input and output. Passing by reference reduces the memory used in generated code. Control how memory is allocated by setting limits for stack space usage and by specifying when dynamic memory allocation is used. Minimize code size by disabling features that generate additional code, such as support for integer overflow.

For more information about how to optimize your code for specific conditions, see Optimize Generated C/C++ and MEX Code.

Control Inlining to Fine-Tune Performance and Readability of Generated Code
Inlining eliminates the overhead of function calls but can produce larger C/C++ code and reduce code readability.
Control Stack Space Usage
Specify the maximum stack space that the generated code can use.

Arrays

Set Dynamic Memory Allocation Threshold
Disable dynamic memory allocation for arrays less than a certain size.
Reuse Large Arrays and Structures
Specify variable reuse to reduce memory usage.
