Issue error message and return to the MATLAB prompt
Fortran Syntax
subroutine mexErrMsgTxt(error_msg) character*(*) error_msg
Arguments
error_msgCharacter array containing the error message to be displayed.
Description
CallmexErrMsgTxt to write an error message to the MATLAB window. After the error message prints, MATLAB terminates the MEX-file and returns control to the MATLAB prompt.
Calling mexErrMsgTxt does not clear the MEX-file from memory. Consequently, mexErrMsgTxt does not invoke any registered exit routine to allocate memory.
If your application calls mxCalloc or one of the mxCreate routines to create mxArray pointers, mexErrMsgTxt automatically frees any associated memory allocated by these calls.
