Replacement Name: char

Name for char data type in generated code

Model Configuration Pane: Code Generation / Data Type Replacement

Description

The Replacement Name: char parameter specifies the name to use for the built-in data type char in the generated code.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, select the Specify custom data type names parameter.

Settings

no default

If a value is not specified, the code generator uses the Code Generation Name, char_T.

Specify character vectors for the code generator to use as names for built-in Simulink® data types.

To replace the Code Generation Name char_T, create a Simulink.AliasType object in the Command Window.

Set the BaseType object property to intn. Specify the name of the Simulink.AliasType object in the Replacement Name column. n is the number of bits set for Configuration Parameters > Hardware ImplementationNumber of bits: char.

An error occurs, if:

  • A replacement data type specification is inconsistent with the Simulink Name data type.

  • The Simulink.AliasType object has the Data scope parameter set to Exported.
