Dear Matlab-Team,

I would like to include some custom C code into my Simulink model using the C Caller / C function block. As I need some intermediate variables, I would like to declare a C array dependent on the size of the input "LEN", which is constant.

float data[LEN];

As C only allows direct values or macros, I cannot use the constant in the ports and parameters section. I would like to avoid to pre allocated temporarily needed arrays in Simulink and then feed as reference to my function. Also I need to avoid dynamic memory allocation like malloc.

Is there any option to declare a macro for example that can be then used in the C function?

Thanks for your support!

Hi Simon,

I understand that you want to define a macro to specify the array length for use in the 'C Function' block. Simulink offers a convenient way to achieve this through the 'Defines' section in the configuration panel. Please refer to the steps below to implement this approach:

Navigate to Model Configuration Parameters and select Simulation Target.
In the Custom Code section, find the Defines option.
Define your macro here, for instance: LEN=100.
Once you have applied these configuration settings, you can easily use the macro within your 'C Function' block.

Please refer to the following MathWorks documentation for more details on defining macros : https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/gui/defines.html

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your answer! Is it possible to make the LEN = 100 dependent on a constant, which can be changed programmatically?

Hi Simon,

I see that you want the LEN to change programmatically, macros are usually used to define constants. If you want the value to change programmatically then maybe you should use a variable but that cannot be used in your case as you eventually need it for array declaration in C.
