I am attempting to write some simple test programs using Matlab Engine for C++. I was able to get it working fine yesterday, until I updated from R2019a Update 1 to R2019a Update 2. Ever since then, the files for Matlab Engine for C++ have been causing compiler errors. Whenever I write a program that includes the files "MatlabEngine.hpp" and/or "MatlabDataArray.hpp", I get the following errors:

Error C2760 syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'expression' C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\include\MatlabDataArray\ArrayFactory.hpp 164

Error C2760 syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'expression' C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\include\MatlabDataArray\ArrayFactory.hpp 219

Error C2760 syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'expression' C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\include\MatlabDataArray\ArrayFactory.hpp 552

Error C2760 syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'expression' C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\include\MatlabDataArray\ArrayFactory.hpp 624

I am compiling using Visual Studio 2019, and am using a trial license version of Matlab. I am compiling and running on a Windows 10 computer. These errors occur even with this simple test program:

#include <iostream>
#include "MatlabEngine.hpp"
#include "MatlabDataArray.hpp"
int main(){
    std::cout << "Hello World!\n\r";
    return 0;
}

I have all the necessary folders/libraries in my path and project settings. It is always the same 4 errors. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I have tried re-installing Matlab and Visual Studio, but nothing seems to work.

EDIT :

Found the problem. I changed the setting Project->Properties->C/C++->Language->Conformance Mode from "Yes" to "No", and that fixed the error.

same for me in R2019b! Thanks a lot!

This should only happen with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, not Professional, and it should not happen with earlier versions of Visual Studio. Could you please confirm that you are using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition?

Setting Conformance mode to No will work around a compiler build issue seen in VS 2019 Community Edition with MATLAB R2018b through R2020a, in which several lines in extern\include\MatlabDataArray\ArrayFactory.hpp will trigger error C2760. Note that with mbuild, Conformance mode is set to No by default. Alternatively, particularly if Conformance mode = Yes is desired, the error can be fixed by inserting the keyword typename before instances of the strings impl::ArrayFactoryImpl and impl::ArrayImpl on those lines. The compiler error is not seen in VS 2019 Professional, VS 2017 Professional, or VS 2017 Community Edition.

I have similar issues. I use MATLAB R2020a and visual studio 2019. I try to use the MATLAB engine and follows this guide https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/build-c-engine-programs.html. I try to build the test environment (https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/test-your-build-environment.html) to see if my library and include files are set up correctly.

When I run the C++ program in debug mode, it throws an exception in the Engine_factory_impl.hpp file, and it shows the message "The specified module could not be found" in the console window.

Under Properties -> C/C++ -> General I have added the path C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\extern\include under additional include directories

Under Properties -> Linker -> General I have added the path C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\extern\lib\win64\microsoft under additional library directories

I have added the files libMatlabEngine.lib and libMatlabDataArray.lib under Properties -> Linker -> input -> additional dependencies, and i have added to two DLL files (libMatlabEngine.dll and libMatlabDataArray.dll) in the debug folder

Do you have any Idea what is wrong?

Thanks in advance :)
