Maximum identifier length

Maximum number of characters in generated identifiers

Description

App Configuration Pane: Code Appearance

Configuration Objects: coder.CodeConfig | coder.EmbeddedCodeConfig

maximum number of characters in generated function, type definition, and variable names. To avoid truncation of identifiers by the target C/C++ compiler, specify a value that matches the maximum identifier length of the target C/C++ compiler.

This parameter does not apply to exported identifiers, such as the generated names for entry-point functions or emxArray API functions. If the length of an exported identifier exceeds the maximum identifier length of the target C/C++ compiler, the target C/C++ compiler truncates the exported identifier.

Settings

31 | 1024 | positive integer

Maximum identifier length, specified as a positive integer. If the Language parameter is set to C, the default value is 31. If the Language parameter is set to C++, the default value is 1024.
