MEX Files

墨西哥人源文件,以及任何他们电话,必须compiled for a specific bitness. For example, 32-bit and 64-bit MEX files use different file name extensions (.mexw32 and .mexw64 respectively), so it is possible to have both 32-bit and 64-bit MEX binaries in the same folder.

Differences in the MEX API to support large data sets may require some accommodation. SeeHow Do I Update MEX Files to Use the Large Array Handling APIfor further discussion.

Differences in Fortran MEX files for 64-bit versions of MATLAB may require some accommodation:

MAT Files

With large data sets that use the -7.3 MAT-file format, it is possible for the 64-bit version of MATLAB to produce a MAT-file that is too large for the 32-bit version of MATLAB.

Functional Differences Between 32-bit and 64-bit MATLAB

There are a small number of functional differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MATLAB. This table summarizes the differences:
