FindMatlab
----------

Finds Matlab or Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) and provides Matlab tools,
libraries and compilers to CMake.

This package primary purpose is to find the libraries associated with Matlab
or the MCR in order to be able to build Matlab extensions (mex files). It
can also be used:

* to run specific commands in Matlab in case Matlab is available
* for declaring Matlab unit test
* to retrieve various information from Matlab (mex extensions, versions and
  release queries, ...)

The module supports the following components:

* ``ENG_LIBRARY`` and ``MAT_LIBRARY``: respectively the ``ENG`` and ``MAT``
  libraries of Matlab
* ``MAIN_PROGRAM`` the Matlab binary program. Note that this component is not
  available on the MCR version, and will yield an error if the MCR is found
  instead of the regular Matlab installation.
* ``MEX_COMPILER`` the MEX compiler.
* ``MCC_COMPILER`` the MCC compiler, included with the Matlab Compiler add-on.
* ``SIMULINK`` the Simulink environment.

.. note::

  The version given to the :command:`find_package` directive is the Matlab
  **version**, which should not be confused with the Matlab *release* name
  (eg. `R2014`).
  The :command:`matlab_get_version_from_release_name` and
  :command:`matlab_get_release_name_from_version` provide a mapping
  between the release name and the version.

The variable :variable:`Matlab_ROOT_DIR` may be specified in order to give
the path of the desired Matlab version. Otherwise, the behaviour is platform
specific:

* Windows: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are retrieved from the
  Windows registry
* OS X: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are given by the MATLAB
  default installation paths in ``/Application``. If no such application is
  found, it falls back to the one that might be accessible from the ``PATH``.
* Unix: The desired Matlab should be accessible from the ``PATH``. This does
  not work for MCR installation and :variable:`Matlab_ROOT_DIR` should be
  specified on this platform.

Additional information is provided when :variable:`MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG` is set.
When a Matlab/MCR installation is found automatically and the ``MATLAB_VERSION``
is not given, the version is queried from Matlab directly (on Windows this
may pop up a Matlab window) or from the MCR installation.

The mapping of the release names and the version of Matlab is performed by
defining pairs (name, version).  The variable
:variable:`MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS` may be provided before the call to
the :command:`find_package` in order to handle additional versions.

A Matlab scripts can be added to the set of tests using the
:command:`matlab_add_unit_test`. By default, the Matlab unit test framework
will be used (>= 2013a) to run this script, but regular ``.m`` files
returning an exit code can be used as well (0 indicating a success).

``Matlab_MEX_COMPILER``
  the mex compiler of Matlab. Currently not used.
  Available only if the component ``MEX_COMPILER`` is requested.
``Matlab_MCC_COMPILER``
  the mcc compiler of Matlab. Included with the Matlab Compiler add-on.
  Available only if the component ``MCC_COMPILER`` is requested.

Cached variables
""""""""""""""""

``Matlab_MEX_EXTENSION``
  the extension of the mex files for the current platform (given by Matlab).
``Matlab_ROOT_DIR``
  the location of the root of the Matlab installation found. If this value
  is changed by the user, the result variables are recomputed.

Provided macros
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:command:`matlab_get_version_from_release_name`
  returns the version from the release name
:command:`matlab_get_release_name_from_version`
  returns the release name from the Matlab version

Provided functions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:command:`matlab_add_mex`
  adds a target compiling a MEX file.
:command:`matlab_add_unit_test`
  adds a Matlab unit test file as a test to the project.
:command:`matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry`
  parses the registry for all Matlab versions. Available on Windows only.
  The part of the registry parsed is dependent on the host processor
:command:`matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry`
  returns all the possible Matlab or MCR paths, according to a previously
  given list. Only the existing/accessible paths are kept. This is mainly
  useful for the searching all possible Matlab installation.
:command:`matlab_get_mex_suffix`
  returns the suffix to be used for the mex files
  (platform/architecture dependent)
:command:`matlab_get_version_from_matlab_run`
  returns the version of Matlab/MCR, given the full directory of the Matlab/MCR
  installation path.


Known issues
^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Symbol clash in a MEX target**
  By default, every symbols inside a MEX
  file defined with the command :command:`matlab_add_mex` have hidden
  visibility, except for the entry point. This is the default behaviour of
  the MEX compiler, which lowers the risk of symbol collision between the
  libraries shipped with Matlab, and the libraries to which the MEX file is
  linking to. This is also the default on Windows platforms.

  However, this is not sufficient in certain case, where for instance your
  MEX file is linking against libraries that are already loaded by Matlab,
  even if those libraries have different SONAMES.
  A possible solution is to hide the symbols of the libraries to which the
  MEX target is linking to. This can be achieved in GNU GCC compilers with
  the linker option ``-Wl,--exclude-libs,ALL``.

**Tests using GPU resources**
  in case your MEX file is using the GPU and
  in order to be able to run unit tests on this MEX file, the GPU resources
  should be properly released by Matlab. A possible solution is to make
  Matlab aware of the use of the GPU resources in the session, which can be
  performed by a command such as ``D = gpuDevice()`` at the beginning of
  the test script (or via a fixture).


Reference
^^^^^^^^^

.. variable:: Matlab_ROOT_DIR

   The root folder of the Matlab installation. If set before the call to
   :command:`find_package`, the module will look for the components in that
   path. If not set, then an automatic search of Matlab
   will be performed. If set, it should point to a valid version of Matlab.

.. variable:: MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG

   If set, the lookup of Matlab and the intermediate configuration steps are
   outputted to the console.

.. variable:: MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS

  If set, specifies additional versions of Matlab that may be looked for.
  The variable should be a list of strings, organised by pairs of release
  name and versions, such as follows::

    set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
        "release_name1=corresponding_version1"
        "release_name2=corresponding_version2"
        ...
        )

  Example::

    set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
        "R2013b=8.2"
        "R2013a=8.1"
        "R2012b=8.0")

  The order of entries in this list matters when several versions of
  Matlab are installed. The priority is set according to the ordering in
  this list.

.. command:: matlab_add_unit_test

  Adds a Matlab unit test to the test set of cmake/ctest.
  This command requires the component ``MAIN_PROGRAM`` and hence is not
  available for an MCR installation.

  The unit test uses the Matlab unittest framework (default, available
  starting Matlab 2013b+) except if the option ``NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK``
  is given.

  The function expects one Matlab test script file to be given.
  In the case ``NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK`` is given, the unittest script file
  should contain the script to be run, plus an exit command with the exit
  value. This exit value will be passed to the ctest framework (0 success,
  non 0 failure). Additional arguments accepted by :command:`add_test` can be
  passed through ``TEST_ARGS`` (eg. ``CONFIGURATION <config> ...``).

  ::

    matlab_add_unit_test(
        NAME <name>
        UNITTEST_FILE matlab_file_containing_unittest.m
        [CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND matlab_command_to_run_as_test]
        [UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND matlab_command_to_run]
        [TIMEOUT timeout]
        [ADDITIONAL_PATH path1 [path2 ...]]
        [MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS option1 [option2 ...]]
        [TEST_ARGS arg1 [arg2 ...]]
        [NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK]
        )

  The function arguments are:

  ``NAME``
    name of the unittest in ctest.
  ``UNITTEST_FILE``
    the matlab unittest file. Its path will be automatically
    added to the Matlab path.
  ``CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND``
    Matlab script command to run as the test.
    If this is not set, then the following is run:
    ``runtests('matlab_file_name'), exit(max([ans(1,:).Failed]))``
    where ``matlab_file_name`` is the ``UNITTEST_FILE`` without the extension.
  ``UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND``
    Matlab script command to be ran before the file
    containing the test (eg. GPU device initialisation based on CMake
    variables).
  ``TIMEOUT``
    the test timeout in seconds. Defaults to 180 seconds as the
    Matlab unit test may hang.
  ``ADDITIONAL_PATH``
    a list of paths to add to the Matlab path prior to
    running the unit test.
  ``MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS``
    a list of additional option in order
    to run Matlab from the command line.
    ``-nosplash -nodesktop -nodisplay`` are always added.
  ``TEST_ARGS``
    Additional options provided to the add_test command. These
    options are added to the default options (eg. "CONFIGURATIONS Release")
  ``NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK``
    when set, indicates that the test should not
    use the unittest framework of Matlab (available for versions >= R2013a).
  ``WORKING_DIRECTORY``
    This will be the working directory for the test. If specified it will
    also be the output directory used for the log file of the test run.
    If not specified the temporary directory ``${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Matlab`` will
    be used as the working directory and the log location.

.. command:: matlab_add_mex

  Adds a Matlab MEX target.
  This commands compiles the given sources with the current tool-chain in
  order to produce a MEX file. The final name of the produced output may be
  specified, as well as additional link libraries, and a documentation entry
  for the MEX file. Remaining arguments of the call are passed to the
  :command:`add_library` or :command:`add_executable` command.

  ::

     matlab_add_mex(
         NAME <name>
         [EXECUTABLE | MODULE | SHARED]
         SRC src1 [src2 ...]

         [LINK_TO target1 target2 ...]
         [R2017b | R2018a]
         [...]
     )

  ``NAME``
    name of the target.
  ``SRC``
    list of source files.
  ``LINK_TO``
    a list of additional link dependencies.  The target links to ``libmex``
    and ``libmx`` by default.
  ``OUTPUT_NAME``
    if given, overrides the default name. The default name is
    the name of the target without any prefix and
    with ``Matlab_MEX_EXTENSION`` suffix.
  ``DOCUMENTATION``
    if given, the file ``file.txt`` will be considered as
    being the documentation file for the MEX file. This file is copied into
    the same folder without any processing, with the same name as the final
    mex file, and with extension `.m`. In that case, typing ``help <name>``
    in Matlab prints the documentation contained in this file.
  ``R2017b`` or ``R2018a`` may be given to specify the version of the C API
    to use: ``R2017b`` specifies the traditional (separate complex) C API,
    and corresponds to the ``-R2017b`` flag for the `mex` command. ``R2018a``
    specifies the new interleaved complex C API, and corresponds to the
    ``-R2018a`` flag for the `mex` command. Ignored if MATLAB version prior
    to R2018a. Defaults to ``R2017b``.
  ``MODULE`` or ``SHARED`` may be given to specify the type of library to be
    created. ``EXECUTABLE`` may be given to create an executable instead of
    a library. If no type is given explicitly, the type is ``SHARED``.

  The documentation file is not processed and should be in the following
  format:
