Method for generating source code

A method for generating source code from one or more blocks of a block diagram that comprises at least three blocks, wherein the at least three blocks include a source block emitting a first composite signal corresponding to a multi-component variable, a passing block receiving the first composite signal and emitting a second composite signal with the same dimensions, and a filter block receiving the second composite signal and discarding at least one component of the second composite signal, the method comprising:

• transforming the block diagram into an intermediate representation, wherein transforming the block diagram into the intermediate representation comprises transforming the at least three blocks;
• applying at least one optimization to the intermediate representation, wherein applying the at least one optimization comprises determining whether a memory condition is fulfilled;
• based on the memory condition not being fulfilled, determining whether a cost condition is fulfilled;
• and
• based on the cost condition being fulfilled, replacing an assignment of the entire multi-component variable by a partial assignment pertaining to one or more components of the multi-component variable.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for generating source code from one or more blocks of a block diagram that comprises at least three blocks, wherein the at least three blocks include a source block emitting a first composite signal corresponding to a multi-component variable, a passing block receiving the first composite signal and emitting a second composite signal with the same dimensions, and a filter block receiving the second composite signal and discarding at least one component of the second composite signal, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• transforming the block diagram into an intermediate representation, wherein transforming the block diagram into the intermediate representation comprises transforming the at least three blocks;
• applying at least one optimization to the intermediate representation, wherein applying the at least one optimization comprises determining whether a memory condition is fulfilled;
• based on the memory condition being fulfilled, replacing an output variable of the passing block with one or more auxiliary variables of smaller dimension;
• and
• translating the optimized intermediate representation into source code.
