problem writing s-function (c/c++) inputports problem with arrays

problem writing s-function (c/c++) inputports problem with arrays

problem writing s-function (c/c++) inputports problem with arrays

(OP)
I am a new user of simulink and I'm sure my problem is quite simple for someone with some experience writing s-functions. I am attempting to write an s-function in c++ that takes as input 3 double[][3] arrays(the row value is to be dynamicaly_size) and 3 integer values as input. The output I want is another double array of size 4x4. In mdloutputs all that I want to happen is a call to my c++ registration function code using the input values and the ouput to be the updated version of the 4x4 matrix that is adjusted in the registration call. The parmeters for egistration are:

Registration(double [][3], int32, double [][3], int32, double [][3], int32, double[4][4])

I do not entirely understand the use of Real_T for casting. My registration function wont recognize real_T values (I thought perhaps being cast as Real_T would automatically read the input as its true type as I declared when initializing). So my question is, how would I cast my input to make registration recognize the inputs as double[][3] and the output as a ?

Here is my code(All you probably need to look at is mdlInitializeSizes and mdlOutputs):
#define S_FUNCTION_NAME regICPMAT
#define S_FUNCTION_LEVEL 2
#define MATLAB_MEX_FILE
/*
* Need to include simstruc.h for the definition of the SimStruct and
* its associated macro definitions.
*/
#include "simstruc.h"
#include "registration.h"


/* Error handling
* --------------
*
* You should use the following technique to report errors
encountered within
* an S-function:
*
* ssSetErrorStatus(S,"Error encountered due to ...");
* return;
*
* Note that the 2nd argument to ssSetErrorStatus must be persistent
memory.
* It cannot be a local variable. For example the following will
cause
* unpredictable errors:
*
* mdlOutputs()
* {
* char msg[256]; {ILLEGAL: to fix use "static char
msg[256];"}
* sprintf(msg,"Error due to %s", string);
* ssSetErrorStatus(S,msg);
* return;
* }
*
* See matlabroot/simulink/src/sfuntmpl_doc.c for more details.
