Re: Function Libraries and 'LibraryFunction'

Hi,
I see no one has written an answer yet. First of all, yes, Mathematica
supports the loading of library function. Please start reading the
documentation here
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/LibraryLink/tutorial/Overview.html
Additionally, you want to check out
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/LibraryLink.html
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/CCompilerDriver/tutorial/Overview.html
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/CCompilerDriver/ref/CreateLibrary.html
and all references therein.
These are basically the (1.) gotchas you should know and the (3.) doc. Furthermore, please note, that you have code-examples which reside in
SystemFiles/Links/LibraryLink/LibraryResources/Source
under your Mathematica install path.
2.) Everything is explained in the documentation. The big advantage is, that it is possible to access tensors (lists, matrices, ..) of the Mathematica without copying them.
I hope this gives you a start.
Cheers
Patrick
