Code Templates

Custom file processing (CFP) tools allow you to customize the organization and formatting of generated code.

Code Generation Template (CGT) files define the top-level organization and formatting of generated source code and header files.

A custom file processing (CFP) template imposes a simple structure on the code generation process.

Create CGT files and CFP templates to use custom file processing features.

Using code generation template (CGT) files, you can specify custom file banners and function banners for the generated code files.

Use data and code templates to change the organization of generated files.

Customize generated file names by using file naming rules.

This example shows you the process of generating a simple source (.c or .cpp) and header (.h) file using the example CFP template.

You can use a template to define what code the code generator adds to the generated file, control the location of code in the file, and optionally insert comments in the generated file.

The code template API includes functions to obtain the names of the standard model files and other model-related information.

This topic describes template symbols and rules for using them.
