Check safety-related code generation identifier settings

Check ID: mathworks.hism.hisl_0049

Check model configuration for code generation settings that can impact safety.

Description

This check verifies that model configuration parameters for code generation are set optimally for a safety-related application.

Available with Simulink® Check™.

Results and Recommended Actions

ConditionRecommended Action
The minimum number of characters specified for generating name mangling strings is less than four. You can use this option to minimize the likelihood that parameter and signal names will change during code generation when the model changes. Use of this option assists with minimizing code differences between file versions, decreasing the effort to perform code reviews. Set Minimum mangle length (Embedded Coder) on the Code Generation > Identifier pane in the Configuration Parameters dialog box or the parameter MangleLength to a value of 4 or greater.

Action Results

Clicking Modify Settings configures model code generation settings that can impact safety.

Subchecks depend on the results of the subchecks noted with D in the results table in the Model Advisor window.

Capabilities and Limitations

  • Does not run on library models.

  • Does not allow exclusions of blocks or charts.

  • Does not highlight parameter names in report without Embedded Coder®.
