Target Language Compiler

Chapter 1
Introducing the Target
Language Compiler

The Target Language Compiler^TM tool is an integral part of the Real-Time Workshop^®. It enables you to customize the C or Ada code generated from any Simulink^® model and generate optimal, inlined code for your own Simulink blocks. Through customization, you can produce platform-specific code, or you can incorporate your own algorithmic changes for performance, code size, or compatibility with existing methods that you prefer to maintain.

Note    This book describes the Target Language Compiler, its files, and how to use them together. This information is provided for those users who need to customize target files in order to generate specialized output. Or, in some cases, for users who want to inline S-functions to improve the performance and readability of the generated code. The overall code generation process for the Real-Time Workshop is discussed in detail in the Real-Time Workshop User's Guide in the Code Generation and the Build Process chapter. This book refers to the Target Language Compiler either by its complete name, Target Language Compiler, or TLC, or simply, Compiler.
