How to load cell *.mat into matlab coder for mex file generation

Hi, Im just trying out Matlab coder 3.0 but I don't know how to import presaved cells

problem:

test.mat % class cell size 955x2
test= load('test.mat');
test % 1x1 struct
test.test % class cell size 955x2

In Matlab coder i get:

Found unsupported class for variable using function 'load'. MATLAB class 'cell' found at 'test.test' is unsupported.

Use the command 'whos -file test.mat' to view the variables in the MAT file.

whos -file test.mat shows:

Name            Size              Bytes  Class    Attributes

test           955x2             1990906  cell

Hope someone could help me

This is resulting because MATLAB Coder currently does not support cell arrays inside structures, not just for loading, but in other contexts either. This limitation is documented at the following link:

It is about time that this limitation must have been addressed.

And it has:

As of MATLAB R2018a the limitation about cell arrays and load/coder.load has been lifted.
