Generate list of function dependency in MATLAB

For newer releases of Matlab (eg 2007 or 2008) you could use the built in functions:

1. mlint
2. dependency report and
3. coverage report

Another option is to use Matlab's profiler. The command is profile, it can also be used to track dependencies. To use profile, you could do

>> profile on   % turn profiling on
>> foo;         % entry point to your matlab function or script
>> profile off  % turn profiling off
>> profview     % view the report

If profiler is not available, then perhaps the following two functions are:

1. depfun
2. depdir

For example,

>> deps = depfun('foo');

gives a structure, deps, that contains all the dependencies of foo.m.
