You should have another go and report the specific error, I've built the 
classdef branch a few times and have not usually had any build issues, 
and the classdef stuff has worked really well too (thanks devs!). It 
already does a lot of what you suggest I think, such as handle classes 
and inheritance. Perhaps you just have a bad setup, you should try 
building the default or last release version to check.

Perhaps you mean something like this:

https://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38964-example-matlab-class-wrapper-for-a-c++-class

I have tried this out with the classdef branch and it works. I have a 
project that has quite an involved example interface to some C++ finite 
element codes here: https://sourced.ecdf.ed.ac.uk/projects/see/xfemm

I find this method of interfacing incredibly useful and am creating an 
interface to Qucs (
