Preserve Variable Names when using Embedded Coder

Hello,

I am converting my Simulink Model to C code using Embedded Coder. Though, I am successfull in this process, I would like to know how do I preserve the variable names? The code generated has many random variables and when I try to map it with Simulink Model, it is too difficult to understand which variable belongs to what in the Simulink Model.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

You can control that by customizing the naming of identifiers on the Code Generation -> Identifiers pane in the model configuration parameters. Please take a look at the following links:

Customize Generated Identifier Naming Rules - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Model Configuration Parameters: Code Generation Identifiers - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Furthermore, you may use storage classes for controlling model data representation in the generated code. Take a look at the following link:

Choose Storage Class for Controlling Data Representation in Generated Code - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Moreover, if you are working with one of the latest Matlab Versions, the 'Embedded Coder App' in Simulink offers a 'in-model code panel', where you can take a look at the generated code alongside your model. The code panel offers traceability between model and code, and vice versa.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Omair.
