Default: Auto

Auto

Lets the code generator determine where the declarations should be located.

Data declared in source file

Places declarations in .c source files where functions are located. The data header template file is not used. The code generator places the declarations in one or more function .c files, depending on the number of function source files and the file partitioning previously selected in the Simulink® model.

Data defined in a single separate source file

Places declarations in the data header file specified in the Data declaration filename field. The code generator organizes and formats the declarations based on the data header template specified by the header file (*.h) template parameter in the data section of the Code Generation pane: Templates tab.

Limitation

This parameter applies to data with storage classes except these:

  • ExportedGlobal

  • ImportedExtern

  • ImportedExternPointer

  • BitField

  • FileScope

  • Localizable

  • Struct

  • CompilerFlag
