    missing type definition

    Dear all,
    I generated C code from function block diagram, in which I see the following lines

    extern int32 *BF_ANA;
    extern uchar *BF_BOO;

    #define _SCC_FZPF_ID0200314_OUT2_VA 0X0413
    #define _SCC_MYAVFBD_OUT2 0X0411
    #define _SCC_MYAVFBD_OUT1 0X05FB
    #define _SCC_FZPF_ID0200314_OUT1_VA 0X05FF


    BF_BOO[ _SCC_MYAVFBD_OUT2 ] = BF_BOO[ _SCC_FZPF_ID0200314_OUT2_VA ];
    BF_ANA[ _SCC_MYAVFBD_OUT1 ] = BF_ANA[ _SCC_FZPF_ID0200314_OUT1_VA ];

    I suppose BF_ANA and BF_BOO have been defined in some other header files which is not given out after code generation. Can someone help me how to define these items?
    Thanks

    What do you expect us to do with snippets of meaningless symbols generated by some auto code generation tool?

    Well you could do
    int32 *BF_ANA = malloc( pickHoweverManyYouNeed * sizeof(*BF_ANA) );

    Or perhaps your model is wrong, if it's emitting declarations for things, without the definitions.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    BF_ANA and BF_BOO would be defined in source files, not headers.
    It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
    A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
    Had he known what fire was,
    He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
