ssRegisterDataType
Register a custom data type
Syntax
DTypeId ssRegisterDataType(SimStruct *S, char *name)
Arguments
S
SimStruct that represents an S-Function block.
name
Name of the custom data type.
Returns
The DTypeId
associated with the registered data type.
Otherwise, reports an error and returns INVALID_DTYPE_ID
.
Description
Register a custom data type. Each data type must be a valid MATLAB® identifier. That is, the first character is an alpha and all
subsequent characters are alphanumeric or "_". The name
length
must be less than 32. Data types must be registered in
mdlInitializeSizes
.
If the registration is successful, the function returns the
DataTypeId
associated with the registered data type;
otherwise, it reports an error and returns
INVALID_DTYPE_ID
.
After registering the data type, you must specify its size, using
ssSetDataTypeSize
.
For more information about using custom data types in S-functions, see Configure Custom Data Types.
Note
You can call this function to get the data type ID associated with a
registered data type. For a list of built-in values for the data type ID, see
ssGetInputPortDataType
.
Languages
C, C++
Examples
The following example registers a custom data type named
Color
.
DTypeId id = ssRegisterDataType(S, "Color"); if(id == INVALID_DTYPE_ID) return;
See Configure Custom Data Types for a more detailed example showing how to use this function.
