Data and Function Configuration
To comply with code standards and guidelines, integrate generated code with external code, and address memory requirements, you can control the declarations and definitions of functions, variables, and data types in generated code. For example, you can use these graphical and programming interfaces to map model data elements and functions to model-independent code definitions:
In the Code Mappings editor or by using an API, configure default C code generation for categories of model data and functions.
In the Code Mappings editor, override configurations for individual C functions.
In the Model Data Editor code view, override configurations for individual model data elements.

When you open the Code perspective in a model created before release R2018a, learn how to manage the migration of memory section and shared utility settings.
C Data Configuration
Choose Storage Class for Controlling Data Representation in Generated Code
Choose a storage class to apply to data elements in a model, such as signals, states, and block parameters.
Configure Data Interface by Applying Storage Classes
Configure data elements in a model, such as block parameters and signal lines, so that corresponding variables appear in generated code.
Apply Storage Classes to Individual Signal, State, and Parameter Data Elements
Control data representation in the generated code by applying storage classes directly, which overrides the default storage classes that you specify in the Code Mapping Editor.
Apply Built-In and Customized Storage Classes to Data Elements
Customize data representation in the generated code by applying storage classes to individual data items.
Control Placement of Global Data Definitions and Declarations in Generated Files
Modularize the generated code and establish clear ownership of global data by controlling the file placement of each declaration and definition.
Protect Global Data with const and volatile Type Qualifiers
Prevent data corruption and improve code safety by applying C type qualifiers
const and volatile to global data in generated
code.
Finely Control Data Representation by Writing TLC Code for a Storage Class
For advanced control of data representation in the generated code, create custom storage classes by writing TLC code.
