getSections

Class: coder.Dictionary
Namespace: coder

Return coder.dictionary.Section objects of an Embedded Coder Dictionary

Syntax

sections = getSections(coderDictionaryObj)


Description

sections = getSections(coderDictionaryObj) returns the coder.dictionary.Section objects contained in the Embedded Coder Dictionary that coderDictionaryObj represents. Use the section objects to access code definitions of different types identified by the section names.

Input Arguments

coderDictionaryObj — Embedded Coder Dictionary

coder.Dictionary object

Embedded Coder Dictionary, specified as a coder.Dictionary object. Before you use this function, represent the dictionary with a coder.Dictionary object by using, for example, the coder.dictionary.create function or the coder.dictionary.open function.

Output Arguments

sections — Sections of Embedded Coder Dictionary

array of coder.dictionary.Section objects

Sections of the Embedded Coder Dictionary, returned as an array of coder.dictionary.Section objects. The sections in the dictionary depend on the code interface configuration type of the dictionary.

A service interface configuration contains these sections:

• InitTermFunctions

• PeriodicAperiodicFunctions

• DataReceiverInterfaces

• DataSenderInterfaces

• DataTransferInterfaces

• TimerInterfaces

• ParameterTuningInterfaces

• ParameterArgumentTuningInterfaces

• MeasurementInterfaces

• SubcomponentInitTermFunctions

• SubcomponentPeriodicAperiodicFunctions

• SharedUtilityFunctions

• InternalData

• Constants

• StorageClasses

• DataMemorySections

• FunctionMemorySections

A data interface configuration contains these sections:

• StorageClasses

• MemorySections

• FunctionCustomizationTemplates

Examples

Access Sections in Embedded Coder Dictionary

Open the model RollAxisAutopilot and represent the Embedded Coder Dictionary by using a coder.Dictionary object. Assign the coder.Dictionary object to the variable coderDictObj.

openExample("RollAxisAutopilot")
coderDictObj = coder.dictionary.open("RollAxisAutopilot")

coderDictObj =

  Dictionary with Sections:

                    StorageClasses: [1×1 coder.dictionary.Section]
                    MemorySections: [1×1 coder.dictionary.Section]
    FunctionCustomizationTemplates: [1×1 coder.dictionary.Section]

Access the sections of the dictionary by using an array of the corresponding coder.dictionary.Section objects.

sectionsArray = getSections(coderDictObj)

sectionsArray = 

  1×3 Section array with properties:

    Name

Use each coder.dictionary.Section object to access the entries in that section of the dictionary. The first section contains entries that represent function customization template definitions.

sectObj = sectionsArray(1)

sectObj = 

  Section with properties:

    Name: 'FunctionCustomizationTemplates'

Version History

Introduced in R2019b

R2024a: Changes in service interfaces dictionary sections

• Constants and InternalData are new dictionary sections.

• The dictionary sections SubcomponentInitTermFunctions and SubcomponentPeriodicAperiodicFunctions replace the section SubcomponentEntryFunctions.

R2023b: Support for service interface configurations

Access the sections of Embedded Coder Dictionaries that use the service interface configuration. You can still access sections in Embedded Coder Dictionaries that use the data interface configuration.
