Output Arguments

expand all

The validity of the coder.make.BuildTool object. If the method detects a problem it returns '0' or an error message.

Examples

The coder.make.BuildTool.validate method returns warning and error messages if you try to validate a build tool before you have installed the build tool software (compiler, linker, archiver).

Starting from the Add Custom Toolchains to MATLAB® Coder™ Build Process example, enter the following lines:

tc = intel_tc;
tool = tc.getBuildTool('C Compiler');
tool.validate

If your host computer does not have the Intel® toolchain installed, validate displays the following messages:

Warning: Validation of build tool 'Intel C Compiler' may require the toolchain
to be set up first. The setup information is registered in the toolchain
this build tool belong to. Pass the parent ToolchainInfo object to VALIDATE
in order for any toolchain setup to be done before validation.
