Why do I receive an error when compiling REGEXP with the MATLAB Compiler 3.0 (R13)?

When I compile REGEXP I receive the following error:

 regexptest.cpp 

 regexptest.cpp(99) : error C2661: 'regexp' : no overloaded function takes 2 parameters 

   MBUILD.BAT: Error: Compile of 'regexptest.cpp' failed. 

 ??? Error using ==> mbuild

 Unable to complete successfully

 ??? Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 1).

 Unable to build executable (specify the -v option for more information).

 Error in ==> D:\matlab6p5\toolbox\compiler\mcc.dll

This is bug in the MATLAB Compiler 3.0 that has been forwarded to our development staff to be addressed in a future release of the MATLAB Compiler.

This issue is specific to C++. If you convert your code to C and then compile, the error does not happen.

As a workaround, please compile your code to C (and not C++). For example

mcc -B sgl mymainfile
