Mixing loadlibrary and mex using same DLL

Can I load a library and use Matlab's calllib machinery, and also use mex files that call on the same DLL? Will they interfere with each other?

Answer 1

There is no interference other then that clearing/unloading the library requires clearing the mex file and unloading the library. The operating system maintains a count of how many times a library is loaded and will not unload it until it is no longer in use.

It is also possible to add mex like functionality to a custom library you will load with loadlibrary. Take a look at extern\examples\shrlib\yprime.c which is a modified copy of the mex yprime example that can be called as a mex file and can be loaded with loadlibrary and has functions that use the mx api.
