Build configuration

Description

Specify compiler optimization or debug settings for toolchain.

Note

This parameter only appears when the model is configured to use a toolchain-based code generation target, as described in Configure Toolchain or Template Makefile Build Process.

Category: Code Generation

Settings

Default: Faster Builds

Faster Builds

Optimize for shorter build times.

Faster Runs

Optimize for faster-running executable.

Debug

Optimize for debugging.

Specify

Selecting Specify displays a table of tools with editable options. Use this table to customize settings for the current model. See Tool/Options.

This interaction helps synchronize the Toolchain value and manually specified Build configuration values.

Modifying the Build configuration value can change the Toolchain value. The Automatically locate an installed toolchain is the only value for Toolchain that is affected by changing the Build configuration to Specify.

Changing the Build configuration to Specify, changes the Toolchain value Automatically locate an installed toolchain (default) to the value of the toolchain that was located (for example, Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 v11.0 |(64-bit Windows)).
Changing the Build configuration from Specify to another value does not change the Toolchain value.

Tip

Click Show settings to display a table of tools with options for the current build configuration. See Tool/Options.

Customize the toolchain options for the Specify build configuration. These options only apply to the current project.

To extract macro definitions (including compiler optimization flags) from the generated makefile for toolchain approach builds on Windows^® or UNIX^® systems, see the model.bat description in Manage Build Process Files.

Dependencies
