MATLAB^® Compiler™ uses a dependency analysis function to determine the list of necessary files to include in the generated package. Sometimes, this process generates a large list of files, particularly when MATLAB object classes exist in the compilation and the dependency analyzer cannot resolve overloaded methods at compile time. Dependency analysis also processes include/exclude files on each pass.

Tip   To improve compile time performance and lessen application size, prune the path with the mcc command's -N and -p flags. You can also specify Files required for your application in the compiler app.

The dependency analyzer searches for executable content such as:

• MATLAB files

• P-files

  Note:   If the MATLAB file corresponding to the p-file is not available, the dependency analysis will not be able to determine the p-file's dependencies.

• Java^® classes and .jar files

• .fig files

• MEX-files

The dependency analyzer does not search for data files of any kind. You must manually include data files in the search.
