Description
Customize generated field names of global types.
Dependencies
This parameter:
- Appears only for ERT-based targets.
- Requires Embedded Coder® when generating code.
Settings
$N$M (default) | string
Enter a macro that specifies whether, and in what order, certain text is to be included in the generated identifier. The macro can include a combination of the following format tokens.
| Token | Description |
|---|---|
| $A | Insert data type acronym into signal and work vector identifiers. For example, i32 for int32_t. |
| $H | Insert tag indicating system hierarchy level. For root-level blocks, the tag is the text root_. For blocks at the subsystem level, the tag is of the form sN_, where N is a unique system number assigned by the Simulink® software. |
| $M | Insert name-mangling text if required to avoid naming collisions.Required. |
| $N | Insert name of object (block, signal or signal object, state, parameter or parameter object) for which identifier is being generated. |
| U∣InserttextthatyouspecifyfortheU | Insert text that you specify for the U∣InserttextthatyouspecifyfortheU token. Use the Custom token text parameter to specify this text. |
Tips
- Avoid name collisions in general. One way is to avoid using default block names (for example,
Gain1,Gain2...) when your model has many blocks of the same type. - Where possible, increase the Maximum identifier length to accommodate the length of the identifiers you expect to generate. Reserve at least three characters for name-mangling text.
- To control the case (upper or lower case) of the text that each token represents, include decorators such as
[U_]in your macro. See Control Case of Identifiers by Using Basic Token Decorators. - The Maximum identifier length setting does not apply to type definitions.
- This option does not impact objects (such as signals and parameters) that have a storage class other than
Auto(such asImportedExternorExportedGlobal).
