how to share matlab functions without code

I would like to share my matlab functions with other matlab developers. These should not be able to access my functions. I want that they only have access to the main functions. All called subfunctions should remain hidden. Like a compiled dll.

Please, Is there any way?

If you have the Matlab compiler you can compiler them into a dll. You could also convert them to mex and create a C++ dll, but that would be a lot of work manually.

Yes, i have a Matlab compiler.

1. What is faster, dll or mex?
2. Could I use a mex-file direct in Matlab?
3. Do you mean

codegen -config:dll my_function

I haven't actually needed to use the option myself. Matlab Compiler includes a Library Compiler. I use the Application Compiler app, I never use the command line compilation so I don't know what the commands would be for compiling whatever Library Compiler creates.

Matlab Coder is another option, which can create dlls or mex files, either of which can be used back in Matlab. I have used it to create .mexw64 files from Matlab code, but not dlls. These are directly callable from Matlab. dlls need a bit more work to use in Matlab, e.g. https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/loadlibrary.html I have no idea which is faster though. You can create both using Coder and test the speed.

you might also put all the subfunctions in a single file together with the main file. Admittedly this would be a mess to maintain, but it's price you must pay to hide your code.

Thanks but that is very complicated. Or is there an automatism that copies all functions into one file.
