isInputComplexityMutableImpl

Class: matlab.System

Set whether System object input complexity can change

Syntax

mutable = isInputComplexityMutableImpl(obj,index)

Description

mutable = isInputComplexityMutableImpl(obj,index) returns whether the indexth input to the object can change complexity when the object is in use.

Method Authoring Tips

You must set Access = protected for this method.

Input Arguments

expand all

System object handle used to access properties, states, and methods specific to the object. If your isInputComplexityMutableImpl method does not use the object, you can replace this input with ~.

This argument specifies which input to stepImpl is checked for complexity mutability. The index number is the ordinal position of the input in the stepImpl signature.

Output Arguments

expand all

If you do not implement this method, inputs can change complexity unless the StrictDefaults class attribute is set. If you implement this method, returning true means that input complexity can change, and false means they cannot change.

Examples

expand all

Restrict the complexity of all inputs by adding the isInputComplexityMutableImpl method and returning false. By adding this method, users of the System object cannot change the complexity of inputs while the System object is in use.

function flag = isInputComplexityMutableImpl(obj,~)
    flag = false;
end

To avoid a warning about unused variables, this example uses ~ as the second input argument. For more information about using ~ in place of arguments, see Using ~ as an Input Argument in Method Definitions.

This example shows how to write the isInputComplexityMutableImpl method to only restrict one input. isInputComplexityMutableImpl returns true for all inputs except input one.

methods (Access = protected)
    function flag = isInputComplexityMutableImpl(obj,index)
        flag = (index ~= 1); 
    end
end
