M-function

Specify rule for naming identifiers in generated code

Model Configuration Pane: Code Generation / Identifiers

Description

Specify rule for naming identifiers in generated code.

Dependencies

This parameter:

Appears only for ERT-based targets.
Requires Embedded Coder^® when generating code.
Is enabled by #define naming.
Must be the same for top-level and referenced models.

Settings

'' (default) | string

Enter the name of a MATLAB^® language file that contains the naming rule to be applied to signal, parameter, or #define parameter identifiers in generated code. Examples of rules you might program in such a MATLAB function include:

Remove underscore characters from signal names.
Add an underscore before uppercase characters in parameter names.
Make identifiers uppercase in generated code.

For example, the following function returns an identifier name by appending the text _define to a data object name.

function revisedName = append_text(name, object)
% APPEND_TEXT: Returns an identifier for generated
% code by appending text to a #define data object name.
%
% Input arguments:
% name: data object name as spelled in model
% object: target data object
%
% Output arguments:
% revisedName: altered identifier returned for use in
% generated code.
%
%
text = '_define';

revisedName = [name,text];

Tips

The MATLAB language file must be in the MATLAB path.
