Data Type Names in Generated Code

Hi,

When I am generating code using embedded code (ver:6.3), the data types appear as follows.

unit8 -> uint8_T

boolean ->boolean_T

I want to replace the 'boolean_T' type with 'bool' by defining a Simulink.AliasType object in the base workspace and updating this to the configuration set. But I get the following error.

Error using rtwbuild (line 241) Potential conflicting usages of identifier 'bool': a data type of that name, and Language Keywords

Is it not possible to use 'bool' as a user defined data type name?

Thanks Rahul

'bool' is a reserved keyword for code generation. For more information, see Reserved Keywords.

Have you found a solution so far?

I am having the same problem.

Hi,

For boolean, the replacement data type's BaseType must be either an 8-bit integer or an integer of the size displayed for Number of bits: int on the Hardware Implementation pane of the Configuration Parameters dialog box.
