Using multiple copies of the same MATLAB Function Block

11 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I'm trying to use the same MATLAB Function block multiple times in the same Simulink model. These duplicate instances of the MATLAB function are inside a library. I think this is a key piece of information for this issue.
If I have one copy of the block, the model compiles just fine. If I add a second MATLAB function block, identical to the first one, I get a conflicting declaration error that happens when the S-Functions are being generated for the MATLAB function blocks:
"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\bin\win64\mex.exe" -R2018a -c -DMATLAB_MEX_FILE -I"C:\dev\Simulink\Models\controller\slprj\_sfprj\controller\lib_controller\sfun\src" -I"C:\dev\Simulink\Models\controller" -I"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\extern\include" -I"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\simulink\include" -I"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\simulink\include\sf_runtime" -I"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\stateflow\c\mex\include" -I"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\rtw\c\src" -I"C:\dev\Simulink\Models\Controller\slprj\_sfprj\controller\lib_controller\sfun\src" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS " lib_controller_sfun.cpp Building with 'MinGW64 Compiler (C++)'.

How could this be prevented? I thought it was possible to use multiple instances of the same MATLAB Function block without a problem.

Can you protect the code with an #ifndef ?
#ifndef interface_parameters_h
#define interface_parameters_h
then the code
#endif

All these files are generated code from the compilation of the main model, I don't think I'm supposed to edit them.

Fixed the issue by encapsulating the MATLAB Function block in a subsystem in the library.
