Question

I have a program which accesses some functions in another class. I want to find out how often these functions are accessed and the values the variables inside the function take when they are accessed.
I am doing it right now using a struct to keep track of the various parameters I want to capture.
But is there anything in-built in Matlab that can do this? I want to capture this data, plot it and find out the model of access (Linear, exponential, etc..).

Answer 1

For the function access info you can use the built-in profile function:

profile on;
my_program;
p = profile('info')

The output struct in p, i.e. p.FunctionTable, will give number of calls in functions and total running time.
