I’m looking through some c++ code that MATLAB generated and I came across this:
typedef char char_T
typedef char_T byte_T
What exactly is this code doing and what is its purpose?
What I think you’re asking is for the reason why MATLAB’s code generator is spitting out these seemingly superfluous typedefs. The probable reason being that MATLAB wants a type that represents bytes for its code, but it’s unsure of what that type is on your specific system and architecture. It then probably has a system-specific stub that maps its own types to something reasonable, and then a generic portion that uses those previously-established types.
