Matlab to C++ code generation (hdf5 format)

There is a Matlab function (h5write) that lets the user write output files in hdf5 format. This seems to work nicely when using the Matlab environment and Matlab files. However, when I try to generate C++ code out of the Matlab files, a conversion error arises. It appears that the code generator (Matlab Coder) cannot convert the h5write operation into C++ code.

Is there any way of getting around this issue? Efficiency is also important here since the data sets that need to be stored by the generated C++ executable are fairly large. If anybody could help me out here, it would make my day! :-)

MATLAB currently provide an interface for converting the code for h5write into C++ code. That being said, you can use MATLAB compiler to build an executable or dll. You can use this in your C++ code, but you will always need the MCR. If space is not a constraint, you can do this.

Otherwise, you can use the HDF5 API (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/cpplus_RM/) and write code for writing into HDF5 file format and then use MATLAB Coder to link and compile.
