Data definition filename

Description

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

Category: Code Generation > Code Placement

Settings

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.

Dependency

This parameter is enabled by Data definition.
