Just out of curiosity I would like to know where the code for MATLAB parser is?

Let say if i want to change the parser code of MATLAB, which file will i have to modify? (I know i won't be having permissions) But i still wanted to know where all the code of MATLAB parser is written?

If you are referring to the parser that handles the main MATLAB language, then that code is not written in MATLAB and it is not available to users.

However, routines such as are used to break out name/value pairs, or check for the correct number of arguments, might be available.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the code must be written in some intermediate-level language. I understand it won't be available for modifying. Although, is it available so as to see how parser code looks like? same way as we can see code of inbuilt routines.

[Wayne King]

I think that Walter answered that question. The code is not available at all. You cannot see it. And I'm not sure what you mean by you can see the code of built-in functions.

You cannot see the code of built-in functions like conv2() or fft()

[Walter Roberson]

Mathworks does not make their built-in routines available to users, only to employees and interns.

Though, as I have said before, a $US 2-Million non-refundable deposit will often get a company to the negotiation table to negotiate a price to see internal code.
