Hi,
I wanted to know how we can look at the source code of the inbuilt
function? For example if I wanted to see the source code of the
function such as imread();
Get a job at Mathworks?
The built-in functions are compiled, probably written in C,
and in many cases probably proprietary. So they aren't available
with a Matlab user license. You'd probably have to talk
to Mathworks on a case-by-case basis to see if they'd
give you a peek at source code.
This is correct for true built-in functions that are part of the source code
for MATLAB. Many of our functions are implemented as M-files, though, which
users can edit just like any normal text file. IMREAD is one of these; type
EDIT IMREAD to open it in the Editor.
Note to the OP: if you're planning to _modify_ one of our functions, please
please PLEASE do two things:
1) Make a copy of the function, say myimread.m, and modify just the copy.
This means that other functions we ship that expect IMREAD to work the way
we've implemented it will keep working as expected.
2) Don't store your copy of the function underneath $MATLAB/toolbox/ where
$MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory. That directory is cached for quicker
access -- so any changes to files in that directory won't get picked up by
MATLAB unless you refresh the cache. Search the documentation for "toolbox
path cache" for more information on this cache.
