coder.descriptor.types.Type Class

Namespace: coder.descriptor.types

Return information about data type of modeling element or corresponding variable in generated code

Since R2024a

Description

An object of coder.descriptor.types.Type class describes information about the type of a variable represented in the Simulink^® model or in the generated code. The coder.desciptor.types.Type class has these subclasses for specific data types:

Some of these subclasses have further subclasses. For more information, see each subclass reference page.

Properties

expand all

`Identifier` — Identifier used in generated code
character vector

Identifier of the data type used in generated code for the corresponding modeling element, specified as a character vector.

Data Types: char

`Name` — Name of data type represented in Simulink
character vector

Name of the data type that is represented in Simulink for the corresponding modeling element, specified as a character vector.

Data Types: char

`ReadOnly` — Indication that type qualifier contains `const`
`true` or `1` | `false` or `0`

Indication that the type qualifier contains const, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). If you cannot change the value of the variable during execution, the variable is preceded by the const keyword as the type qualifier in the generated code.

1 — The type qualifier contains const.
0 — The type qualifier does not contain const.

Data Types: logical

`Volatile` — Indication that type qualifier contains `volatile`
`true` or `1` | `false` or `0`

Indication that the type qualifier contains volatile, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). If the compiler cannot apply optimizations to the variable because its value can change due to external sources, the variable is preceded by the volatile keyword as the type qualifier in the generated code.
