mdlCleanupRuntimeResources

Perform any actions required once at termination of the simulation

Required

Yes

Languages

C, C++

Syntax

void mdlCleanupRuntimeResources(SimStruct *S)

Arguments

S

SimStruct representing an S-Function block.

Description

This method performs any actions, such as freeing of memory, that must be performed when the simulation is terminated or when an S-Function block is destroyed (e.g., when it is deleted from a model).

In C MEX S-functions, the mdlCleanupRuntimeResources method is called after a simulation (mdlSetupRuntimeResources is called), and it reverses the actions performed by mdlSetupRuntimeResources.

Note

If you have Simulink^® Coder™, when generating code for a noninlined C MEX S-function that contains this method, make sure the method is not wrapped in a #if defined(MATLAB_MEX_FILE) statement. For example:

#if defined(MATLAB_MEX_FILE) 
static void mdlCleanupRuntimeResources(SimStruct *S) 
{ 
   /* Add mdlCleanupRuntimeResources code here *
} 
#endif 

The define statement makes the mdlCleanupRuntimeResources method available only to a MATLAB^® MEX file. If the S-function is not inlined, Simulink Coder cannot use this method, resulting in link or run-time errors.

Examples

Suppose your S-function allocates blocks of memory in mdlSetupRuntimeResources and saves pointers to the blocks in a PWork vector. The following code fragment would free this memory.

#define MDL_CLEANUP_RUNTIME_RESOURCES
static void mdlCleanupRuntimeResources(SimStruct *S)
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i<ssGetNumPWork(S); i++) {
    if (ssGetPWorkValue(S,i) != NULL) {
      free(ssGetPWorkValue(S,i));
    }
  }
}
