MEX compile error: unknown type name 'char16_t'

Question

I cannot compile any MATLAB MEX code due to the following error:

In file included from /Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/extern/include/mex.h:58:
In file inclu         


        

Answer 1

As part of XCode 5.1.1 char16_t is defined in __config, which is called from typeinfo.

You can add

#include  

before

#include "mex.h"

to have char16_t defined.
