Hans,

I haven't tried to understand what your code is really supposed to do, 
but here are a few remarks.


First, delete.c (line 16) uses mxSetField to modify prhs[0], thus 
overriding the const specifier.

I don't think that prhs[0] is supposed to be modified (that why it's const).

If you want to modify it, it would probably be safer to use 
mxDuplicateArray first, modify it, and then return the result as plhs[0].


Second, WrapNew is not defined in number_.c.

If you include Wrap.h, you will see that WrapNew expects a double and 
you pass a double*.

I suggest changing WrapNew(value) to WrapNew(*value).


Third, "handle" has nothing to do with Matlab's "handle classes".

It is the name of a field in your structure (see Number.m).
