ssSetLocalErrorStatus

Report an error in a thread-safe manner

Syntax

void ssSetLocalErrorStatus(SimStruct *S, const char_T *msg)

Arguments

S

SimStruct that represents an S-Function block or a Simulink® model.

msg

Error message.

Description

Use this function for thread-safe reporting of errors that occur in your S-function. For example:

ssSetLocalErrorStatus(S, "error message");
return;

Note

The error message character vector must be in persistent memory; it cannot be a local variable. If you use sprintf to format the error message, you must allocate memory for the message. For example:

static char msg[35];
sprintf(msg,"Expected number of parameters: %d",ssGetNumSFcnParams(S));
ssSetLocalErrorStatus(S,msg);

Calling ssSetLocalErrorStatus does not cause the Simulink engine to stop and display the specified error message. ssSetLocalErrorStatus call should be followed by a return statement to skip the rest of the function where ssSetLocalErrorStatus resides. ssSetLocalErrorStatus reports the first error if there are successive calls to ssSetLocalErrorStatus. The function does not generate an exception. Thus you can use it in your S-function to avoid creating exceptions when reporting errors.

Use this function for applications to run on R2019a or later for thread safety. For earlier releases, use ssSetErrorStatus instead.
