        I also tried upgrading to Upgrade 3, but the upgrade process somehow failed and I get the compilation
        errors above. I tried reinstalling VS 2015 without Upgrade 3 with no success (setup always fails).
        How did you downgrade to Update 2?

          Yes, those are exactly the compiler errors.

          But on my side, VS upgraded just fine.
          Even projects that are not C4D-related compile well.

          I simply re-installed VS2015.2. (make settings backup, uninstall VS completely or try running the 2015.2 installer and hit "modify").

          (Un-)Installing VS is already a mess, there are often lots of leftovers around your hard drives that have to be cleaned manually. And by the way, make sure you do any VS operation with permissive rights.

            If memory serves me well typeof was either a GCC extension only or a C language keyword (maybe also in boost, but I would have to look at).

            My sus**cion would be that the libs either have problems recognizing (or handling) a newer compiler version (number) or running into a problem where they are defaulting to the GCC code path.

            I'd check for big 3rd party libs/frameworks like Boost or usage of compiler features we don't recommend too...

            Best regards,

              Yes, turned out that 'typeof' caused the issue. This is indeed a GCC extension. Using decltype should solve the issue.

                at line 62.

                To get it compiling with vs2015 update 3.

                Not sure which line in later versions. Where the windows compiler detection stuff goes.

                  That helps a lot. 🙂

                  edit: Although not that good to mess with the framework. 
                  Hope, that Maxon will have that on the radar for future updates.

                    If you feel bad messing with the api, you can also put _HAS_NOEXCEPT in the preprocessor defs for the framework and you plugin.

                      For R16

                      in CINEMA 4D R16\frameworks\cinema.framework\source\c4d_misc\utilities\compilerdetection.h

                      around line 89:

                      #if _MSC_VER < 1800   
     #define _HAS_DECLTYPE   
#endif

                      Make sure it says this instead:

                      #define _HAS_NOEXCEPT   
#define _HAS_DECLTYPE

                      R17 is probably similar. I'll get to that soon.

                        Thanks for the hints. It would have taken me a long time to make sense of the errors.

                        I want to add that in R17 I had to add the defines
                        _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0
                        _HAS_DECLTYPE

                        Edit: Same for R18

                          As a followup, I just want to note where the typeof issue came from in compilerdetection.h

                          #ifndef _HAS_DECLTYPE
	// try the GCC extension typeof
	#define decltype typeof
#endif

                          Setting _HAS_DECLTYPE and _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 in the preprocessor macros works for me too.
