Matlab C++ Shared dll library initialization crash

I created a shared library for interfacing matlab functionality from a C++ project. My build environment is as follows:

• Matlab R2018a
• Visual Studio 2017
• Windows 10

When initializing the library the application crashes.

I can confirm that using the "-nojvm" option as suggested here: https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/286624-matlab-c-shared-dll-library-initialization-problem avoids the crash.

Yet this is not a viable solution in my case as I have to integrate a library that uses matlab figure handles. Using "-nojvm" therefore leads to a runtime error:

Error using figure
This functionality is no longer supported under the -nojvm startup option. For more information, see "Changes to -nojvm Startup Option" in the MATLAB Release Notes. To view the release note in your system browser, run  web('http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html#btsurqv-6', '-browser').

I have attached a small example project that reproduces the crash and interfaces a simple function:

function createPlot()
    fh = figure;
    plot(1:10, 1:10);
    saveas(fh, 'test', 'png');
end

Hi Dominik

I understand that you are trying to create a shared library for interfacing matlab functionality from a C++ project.

I would suggest you to use a different version of visual studio or matlab for this as there might be some mismactch of the versions.
