import

Import custom code, functions, and types into Simulink

Syntax

success = obj.import()

success = obj.import(Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN)

Description

success = obj.import(), where obj is an object of class Simulink.CodeImporter, parses the specified custom code and imports it into Simulink^® with default import options. If the custom code was not previously parsed or if the custom code or the settings of obj.CustomCode have changed since the custom code was parsed, then the ParseInfo property of obj is populated or repopulated with the information resulting from the parse.

example

success = obj.import(Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN) parses the specified custom code and imports it into Simulink with options based on the specified name-value arguments.

Import Custom Code

Specify location and options for custom code, then import the code into Simulink.

%% Create code importer object
obj = Simulink.CodeImporter;

%% Set library file name and output folder
obj.LibraryFileName = "pumpController";
obj.OutputFolder = ".";

%% Set the custom code to import
obj.CustomCode.InterfaceHeaders = ["pumpController.h"];
obj.CustomCode.IncludePaths = ["./include"];
obj.CustomCode.SourceFiles = ["src/pumpController.c" "src/utils.c"];

%% Parse custom code and configure function
obj.parse();
fcn = obj.ParseInfo.getFunctions("Controller");
fcn.PortSpecification.ReturnArgument.Label = "control_out";

%% Import function "Controller"
obj.import('Functions', ["Controller"]);

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: obj.import('Functions',["Controller"],'EntryFunctionsOnly','On');

`EntryFunctionsOnly` — Option to limit import to entry-point functions
`'On'` (default) | `'Off'`

Option to limit import to entry-point functions, specified as 'On' or 'Off'. If specified as 'On', only entry-point functions from the custom code, that is, functions not called by other functions in the custom code, are imported into the Simulink library. Otherwise, all available custom code functions are imported.
