Define Entry-Point Function and Generate Code

Define a MATLAB entry-point function coverageAnalysisExample that performs a binary operation on its first two inputs. The binary operation depends on whether the third input is positive, negative, or zero.

type coverageAnalysisExample

function out = coverageAnalysisExample(A,B,flag) %#codegen
if flag > 0
    out = A + B;
elseif flag < 0
    out = A - B;
else
    out = A * B;
end
end

Generate static library code for software-in-the-loop (SIL) execution. Specify all inputs to be of scalar double type. Specify the name of the code generation folder to be my_codegen_folder.

cfg = coder.config('lib');
cfg.VerificationMode = 'SIL';
codegen -config cfg coverageAnalysisExample -args {0,0,0} -d my_codegen_folder

Code generation successful.

Add Instrumentation to Generated Code

Add C/C++ code coverage instrumentation to the generated code and produce an instrumented MEX.

instrumentCode('my_codegen_folder', 'CodeCoverage', true)

Completed instrumentation of generated code.

Execute the MEX and View Coverage Data

Execute coverageAnalysisExample_sil with two sets of sample inputs. Make sure the third input is positive for one set and negative for the other.

coverageAnalysisExample_sil(10,4,3)

### Starting SIL execution for 'coverageAnalysisExample'
    To terminate execution: clear coverageAnalysisExample_sil

coverageAnalysisExample_sil(10,4,-2)

Terminate SIL execution and view the code coverage report.

clear coverageAnalysisExample_sil

### Application stopped
### Stopping SIL execution for 'coverageAnalysisExample'
    Code coverage report: getCodeCoverageData('coverageAnalysisExample_sil')

getCodeCoverageData('coverageAnalysisExample_sil');

Because neither of your test runs had the third input argument equal to zero, the last branch of the if-else block was never executed in the generated C entry-point file coverageAnalysisExample.c. This caused the coverageAnalysisExample.c file to have less than 100% statement coverage.
