After enabling the debug build mode, the xmcImportFunctionSettings
command returns a link to the suggested
debugging tool.
A third-party debugger is required for debugging with Model Composer. The default debugger is GDB for both the Linux and Windows operating systems.
In the Windows environment, you can also specify the use of Microsoft
Visual Studio as the compilation, and debugging tool. This requires the use of the
xmcImportFunctionSettings
command using the
'compiler' option, and specifying the 'Visual Studio'
value:xmcImportFunctionSettings('compiler','Visual Studio')
The Model Composer tool will look for Visual Studio in some default
installation locations, but you can also specify the program location if needed.
Tip: When debugging with
Visual Studio, MATLAB may throw exceptions that can be safely
ignored. When this happens disable the Break when this
exception type is thrown checkbox, and click Ignore.
