jc_0796: Length restriction for Stateflow data names

Guideline Publication

Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines - Using MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Stateflow®

Sub ID Recommendations

  • NA-MAAB — a

  • JMAAB — a

MATLAB Versions

All

Rule

Sub ID a

The number of characters in the Stateflow data {name} shall be less than or equal to configured limit. Default value is 63 characters.

Custom Parameter

Stateflow data name character limit

Note

The MATLAB limit for the number of characters you can use in Stateflow data {name} is 2048.

Rationale

Sub ID a:

  • Readability is impaired.

  • Deviation from the rule can result in unintended code behavior

Verification

Model Advisor check: Check length of Stateflow data name (Simulink Check)
