Supported Compilers
A number of MathWorks products or product features require that you have a third-party compiler installed on your system. The tables below outline the compilers that are supported by various MathWorks products. These compilers are provided by a number of vendors and are available under a variety of commercial, academic, or open source terms; visit the providers' websites for further information.
Please see Polyspace documentation for the list of compilers that Polyspace supports in the current release.
System and Product Requirements for Previous Releases
Supported Windows Compilers for MATLAB
Note:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 is supported as of R2019b. (Support for MEX was included with R2019a Update 3)
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 for C/C++ and Fortran are not supported as of R2019b.
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016 for C/C++ and Fortran are not supported as of R2019b.
For MEX-file compilation, loadlibrary, and external usage of MATLAB Engine and MAT-file APIs
Notes for the Windows Platform
-
Visual Studio 2017 can be downloaded from the Visual Studio documentation. Community, Professional, and Enterprise editions are supported. The Visual Studio installer groups functionality into workloads; the "Desktop development with C++" workload is required for MEX and associated functionality.
Supported macOS Compilers for MATLAB
On the Mac, no C compiler is supplied with MATLAB. If you use products that require one, Apple's development environment for macOS (Xcode) is available in the Mac App Store.
Note:
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016 for Fortran is not supported as of R2019b.
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 for Fortran is not supported as of R2019b.
For MEX-file compilation, loadlibrary, and external usage of MATLAB Engine and MAT-file APIs
- Xcode 10.x
- Xcode 9.x
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2019 for Fortran
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018 for Fortran
- Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017 for Fortran
To determine the version of Xcode installed, start Xcode and then select Xcode->About Xcode.
Supported Linux (64-bit) Compilers for MATLAB
On Linux, no C compiler is supplied with MATLAB. The GNU compiler (GCC) is included with many Linux distributions.
For MEX-file compilation, loadlibrary, and external usage of MATLAB Engine and MAT-file APIs
- GCC C/C++ 6.3.x
- GNU gfortran 6.3.x
To determine the version of your compiler, see Answer 99897.
