Hi anyone explain me about GENERATE and GENERATE_TYPE Functions in tlc file?

Hello Matlab users,

Anyone pls explain me about GENERATE and GENERATE_TYPE Functions in tlc file writing?

 GENERATE_TYPE(block, "Output", "dp_read")

In this structure (Output = "Function name which we want to call", What about block, dp_read. Am using Level 2 M file S Function am not getting any information related to this.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in Advance....

Hi, I read that also "The first argument must be a valid scope" what is that first argument?

here you can show example how to use GENERATE : http://www.weizmann.ac.il/matlab/toolbox/rtw/tlc_ref/cp_lan17.html

Hi still am having doubt like what is STDOUT file means? %<theStuff>, I used my files and data but am getting error in this values. Please explain me specifically?

 %selectfile STDOUT
 The value of YourRecord.theStuff is: %<theStuff>
 %closefile STDOUT

are you able to get the following example to work? if not, tell which error you get?

•The following listing is polymorph.tlc. 
%%polymorph.tlc

%language "C"

%%create records used as scopes within the dispatched functions

%createrecord MyRecord { Type "MyBlock"; data 123 }
%createrecord YourRecord { Type "YourBlock"; theStuff 666 }

%%dispatch the functions thru the GENERATE call.

%%dispatch to MyBlock implementation
%<GENERATE(MyRecord, "aFunc")> 

%%dispatch to YourBlock implementation
%<GENERATE(YourRecord, "aFunc")>

%%end of polymorph.tlc

•The following listing is MyBlock.tlc. 
%%MyBlock.tlc

%implements "MyBlock" "C"

%%aFunc is invoked thru a GENERATE call in polymorph.tlc.
%%MyRecord is in generate scope in this function.
%%Therefore, fields of MyRecord can be referenced without
%%qualification

%function aFunc(r) Output
%selectfile STDOUT
The value of MyRecord.data is: %<data>
%closefile STDOUT
%endfunction

%%end of MyBlock.tlc

•The following listing is YourBlock.tlc. 
%%YourBlock.tlc

%implements "YourBlock" "C"

%%aFunc is invoked thru a GENERATE call in polymorph.tlc.
%%YourRecord is in generate scope in this function.
%%Therefore, fields of YourRecord can be referenced without
%%qualification

%function aFunc(r) Output
%selectfile STDOUT
The value of YourRecord.theStuff is: %<theStuff>
%closefile STDOUT
%endfunction

%%end of YourBlock.tlc

The invocation and output of polymorph.tlc, as displayed on the MATLAB console, are shown below:
tlc -v polymorph.tlc

The value of MyRecord.data is: 123
The value of YourRecord.theStuff is: 666

We use in this case STDOUT file to print values to the matlab window.

Which error you got?
