Data definition filename

File to contain data definitions

Model Configuration Pane: Code Generation / Code Placement

Description

Specify the name of the file that is to contain data definitions.

Dependencies

This parameter is enabled by Data definition.

Settings

global.c (default) | C file name

Default: global.c

The code generator organizes and formats the data definitions in the specified file based on the data source template specified by the Source file (*.c) template parameter in the data section of the Code Generation pane: Templates tab.

You do not need to specify an extension for the file name. If you want to specify an extension, you must use a .c extension. In either case:

  • If you select C as the target language, the code generator creates a file with a .c extension.

  • If you select C++ as the target language, the code generator creates a file with a .cpp extension.

Limitation

The code generator does not check for unique filenames. Specify filenames that do not collide with default filenames from code generation.
