M-Lint Code Check and Profiler Reports

MATLAB provides tools to help you manage and improve your M-files, including the M-Lint Code Check and Profiler Reports.

M-Lint Code Check Report

The M-Lint Code Check Report displays potential errors and problems, as well as opportunities for improvement in your M-files. The term "lint" is used by similar tools in other programming languages such as C.

Access the M-Lint Code Check Report and other directory reports from the Current Directory browser. You run a report for all files in the current directory. Alternatively, you can use the mlint function to get results for a single M-file.

In MATLAB, the M-Lint Code Check Report displays a message for each line of an M-file it determines might be improved. For example, a common M-Lint message is that a variable is defined but never used in the M-file.

For More Information See Tuning and Managing M-Files in the MATLAB Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation, and the reference page for the mlint function.
