SIL/PIL Execution Support and Limitations

Feature		Supported
Output types	Static library	Yes
	Dynamic library	Yes
	Executable	No
Languages	C	Yes
	C++	Yes
Interface types	Inputs	Yes
	Outputs	Yes
	Constant inputs	Yes
	Global data	Yes. SIL and PIL execution supports four types of storage classes for MATLAB® Coder™ global variables. The synchronization of global data between MATLAB and the SIL or PIL application depends on the type of storage class that you specify: ExportedGlobal (default) — The synchronization of global data between MATLAB and a SIL or PIL application is identical to the synchronization between MATLAB and a MEX function. ExportedDefine — There is no synchronization of global data between MATLAB and the SIL or PIL application. The application uses the values of the global variables in MATLAB at the time of code generation. ImportedExtern and ImportedExternPointer — There is no synchronization of global data between MATLAB and the SIL or PIL application. The application uses initial values of global variables, which you specify in the external code. If the global variables are not initialized in the external code, the SIL or PIL execution results are undefined.
