Coding Conventions

3-13

Notes about this TLC code:

Note 1 The code section for each block begins with a comment specifying

the block type and name.

Note 2 Include a blank line immediately after the end of the function in

order to create consistent spacing between blocks in the output

code.

Note 3 Try to stay within 80 columns per line for the function banner. You

might set up an 80 column comment line at the top of each function.

As an example, see

constant.tlc.

Note 4 For consistency, use the variables sysIdx and blkIdx for system

index and block index, respectively.

Note 5 Use the variable rollVars when using the %roll construct.

Note 6 Use these conventions to name the loop control variables:

- Use

sigIdx and lcv when looping over RollRegions.

- Use

xidx and xlcv when looping over the states.

Example:

Output function in gain.tlc

%roll sigIdx = RollRegions, lcv = RollThreshold, ...

block, "Roller", rollVars

Example: InitializeConditions function in linblock.tlc

%roll xidx = [0:nStates-1], xlcv = RollThreshold,...

block, "Roller", rollVars

The Target Language Compiler function library files are conditionally

included so that they may be included multiple times. For example, the main
