Why does running Simulink in rapid acceleration mode cause a compiler error indicating that the line is too long?

I have a model that I would like to run in rapid acceleration mode. However, when I attempt to run it, I get a compiler error, culminating in the following lines:

model_name.c:134 compiler limit: line too long (more than 20197 chars)

gmake: *** [model_name.obj] Error 1

I tried moving the files to a shorter directory, but that had no effect. What is causing this issue?

This error may occur if the you do not have any installed/configured compilers (as may be verified by the output of the command "mex -setup"), in which case MATLAB defaults to lcc. 

The issue can be corrected by installing a supported compiler. Supported compilers are listed in the documentation at the following link:

As MinGW is a supporeted compiler and this issue is still arrising, there must be another reason.

Is there any update, this occurs in 2018b and 2019b

[Antonio Carlo Bertolino]

I have installed the supported compiler suggested in the link, indeed when i type

mex -setup

the answer is

>> mex -setup
MEX configured to use 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)' for C language compilation.
Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB
	 variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. You will be required
	 to update your code to utilize the new API.
	 You can find more information about this at:
	 https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/upgrading-mex-files-to-use-64-bit-api.html.

To choose a different language, select one from the following:
 mex -setup C++ 
 mex -setup FORTRAN
>> 

but still I get the same error when trying to compile my model in rapid accelerator mode:

cpp: test_bench_17feb19_capi.c:855 compiler limit: line too long (more than 19709 chars)

gmake: *** [Test_bench_17feb19_capi.obj] Error 1
### Build procedure for model: 'Test_bench_17feb19' aborted due to an error.

What should I do to solve this problem?

Thank you,

Antonio

As others have reported, I have installed a supported compiler (specifically MinGW, I'm using Windows 10 and Matlab 2020a), and the problem still arises.

I solved a similar issue in my case and the rapid accelerator simulation is running fine. Initially, when I just had installed the MinGW64 compiler, I still got the error.

The following steps helped then:

1. Close MATLAB.
2. Remove manually all generated cache data (slprj, mex, slxc, etc.)
3. Start MATLAB and open your Simulink model.
4. In the model make sure that MinGW64 (gmake 64-bit Windows) compiler is selected in the Toolchain item on the Model Configuration Parameters/Code Generation pane.
5. Run rapid accelerator simulation.

It's important to note, that in the generated make file found in slprj\raccel\model_name\model_name.mk there must be MinGW64 set under the TOOLCHAIN SPECIFICATIONS section. Before I did the steps from above, it was set to LCC and correspondingly it didn't work.
