Code Appearance

Control identifiers, code style, comments, and function and file banners in generated code

Modify configuration parameters that control aspects of code appearance and style, such as comment style, data type casting mode, and indentation style. For parameters that control code appearance and style, see Embedded Coder Capabilities for Code Generation from MATLAB Code.

Generate custom banners and trailers, and comments, before code sections by customizing a code generation template (CGT) file. See Generate Custom File and Function Banners for C/C++ Code.

Functions

coder.setupMISRAConfig Configure parameters to improve generated code compliance with MISRA and AUTOSAR guidelines

Control Data Type Casts in Generated Code
Specify the data type casting mode, that is, default mode, standards compliant mode, or explicit mode, in C/C++ code generated from MATLAB code.
Generate C/C++ Code with Improved MISRA and AUTOSAR Compliance
Configure code generation parameters to increase the MISRA™ and AUTOSAR compliance of the generated C/C++ code.

Control Data Type Names

Customize Data Type Replacement
Specify custom data type names in C/C++ code generated from MATLAB code.
Import Custom Data Type Definitions from External Header Files
Specify header file names, which contain custom type definitions, that you want to import.

Code Templates

Code Generation Template Files for MATLAB Code
A CGT file specifies file and function banners, and comments before code sections in C/C++ code generated from MATLAB code.
Generate Custom File and Function Banners for C/C++ Code
Customize a CGT file to generate your own file and function banners in C/C++ code generated from MATLAB code.

Troubleshooting

MATLAB Code Patterns That Require a Nonempty Initialize Function in Generated Code

Code generation fails when you choose not to include the initialize function, even though the custom code for the generated initialize function is empty.
