How can I debug the S-Function generated for SIL simulation with a target from Embedded Coder R2017b?

Hello,

based on question https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/96258, I have the same question for R2017b. I've already found following resources:

• https://de.mathworks.com/help/ecoder/ug/debug-code-during-sil-simulations.html
• https://de.mathworks.com/help/simulink/sfg/debugging-c-mex-s-functions.html
• https://blogs.mathworks.com/simulink/2012/12/06/debugging-cc-s-functions

I've got two question:

• Is there a difference when using the newly added MinGW compiler?
• Can Visual Studio be used with MinGW? Is Visual Studio the correct tool? Or is there a maybe an alternative GNU debugger?

Thanks a lot in advance! Thomas

Source-level debugging for SIL is enabled S-Function is only supported when the code is compiled with the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) or Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 compiler. So use any of these 2 compilers and use Visual Studio to debug.
