"Undefined function or variable '****'. The first assignment to a local variable determines its class."

220 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I'm using Coder to convert my code to C/C++.When I attempt to convert one of my functions just for practice, i started receiving errors. I was unsure how to define my inputs, so I used stops and discovered my input was a struct. The fields in that input I was able to define mostly as double(1x1) (determined by using stops again) as well as one of the fields being a struct as well. Now the error I get when I tryto build my code is
Undefined function or variable 'DopplerSpread'. The first assignment to a local variable determines its class.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to define each function prior to using it in my code? Below is a sample of the line of code receiving that error.
DopplerSpread(path_ct) = FadeAll.Subpaths(path_ct).DopplerSpread;

Since all of my "Undefined function or variable" errors were on variables, and all my variables were 1 x 1 doubles, I just defined them all as 0 prior to them being defined in a for loop. It seems you can not define them in a for loop.

I had a same problem. I think that is variable initiation problem.
in the matlab, if there is not variable, that's variable auto generation. however, in the stateflow, need a initiation.
in my case
*********************** error **********************
function ~
for i=1:len
temp(i) = i;
end
end
*********************** not error ******************
function ~
temp = zeros(len,1);
for i=1:len
temp(i) = i;
end
end

Do you know what to do if the variable that is giving me an error is an input to the function and is needed in an if statement?

Hello everybody, The answer of Adam Kaas was very clear. Azza al-abri you need only to initialize the concerned variable at 0. (i.e if your variable is varia, so you put varia=0; before the loop starts)

Hello everybody, in mining truck shovel operation,the truck takes some load from escavator to crusher(unloads) and come back to escavator to load and again unloads it at crusher,and this process continues till shift time ends so how do we loop the entity generator(number of trucks,truck capacity are enity attributes)) with enity server(escavator and crusher) , for this which type of block shall be used to solve the problem(simevents)
