			While the compiler supports the full MATLAB language, not all toolboxes are fully suported. The official documentation provides more details on [https://mathworks.com/products/compiler/compiler_support.html limitations] of the compiler. In addition, the [https://mathworks.com/help/pdf_doc/compiler/compiler.pdf user's guide] contains examples and a section on troubleshooting.
