error C2440: cannot convert from const size_t* to const int*

[ALEXANDER P. Dumont]

Hi Dr. Fang

I am getting this error when I try to compile mexFunction from MCX in Visual Studio. I just wanted to run it past you before I make any changes since you are much more intimate with the code.

hi Alex

I looked at the lines reported by your VS, I do not see any function calls
that involves const size_t and int pointers in the current github code.
for example, line#535 is simply a closing curly bracket

https://github.com/fangq/mcx/blob/master/src/mcxlab.cpp#L535

are you trying to compile an older version? if yes, which one?

Yes I was trying to compile v2016.4 release, I will look at compiling the newer version then! Thank you for your rapid help!

Aha I am having another problem now! 

Error 1 error C2664: 'mxArray *mxCreateNumericArray_730(size_t,const size_t *,mxClassID,mxComplexity)' : cannot convert argument 2 from 'int [4]' to 'const size_t *' c:\users\tub08918\google drive\patil lab\alexsfolderpleasevisitme\ramanmontecarlo\mcx-master\mcx-master\src\mcxlab.cpp 228 1 mcx

Which I think is due to the fact that my architecture is using mxCreateNumericArray_730 whereas you seem to be using mxCreateNumericArray_700, which uses the inputs yu put in but fails in my version. Any quick work arounds?

you can try inserting (const size_t*) right in front of the second input
of all occurrences of mxCreateNumericArray. This will force converting
the fielddim array to the required pointer type.

mcxlab source never specifies a particular version of matlab.
it must have been your compiler/matlab integration problem.

glad to know it works now.

do you mind sharing your VS proj/sln file for mcxlab? I only managed to create
a VS project for compiling MCX binary, but not yet able to do this for MCXLAB.
I am happy to include your proj/sln file in the next release of MCX.

thanks

Sure! I will provide a package after I cleaned up my code. Where should I post it?

feel free to email me directly, or post with this thread, or fork mcx on github,
add your tested project file, and send me a "pull request".

https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/
https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/

any of these is good.

Hi Dr. Fang sorry about the long break. I am succesfully compiling MCX in Visual Studio into a mex file. However, when I test the mex file is when all hell breaks lose. MATLAB crashes, I am trying to debug the code but havent had much time lately, but will get onto it in April
