Why does my class destructor not execute after an error occurs in a C++ MEX-file in MATLAB?

I have created a C++ MEX-function. In the MEX-function, I create instances of a class. This class has a destructor which performs some cleanup. I expect the destructor to be called whenever the class instance goes out of scope. However, when an error occurs in the MEX-function, the destructor does not seem to be called.

This is a limitation of several C++ compilers which are supported for creating MEX-functions in MATLAB. The following compilers are known to have this limitation:
On 32-bit Windows:
Visual Studio C++ 6.0
OpenWatcom 1.3 and 1.7
On 64-bit Solaris:
GCC
The destructors are not called because these compilers have exception handling mechanisms which are not compatible with the compilers used to build MATLAB. The symptom of the problem is that class destructors do not get called if an error occurs during a call to a MATLAB API function. They do still get called on normal exit.
Note that all other more recently added compilers (in particular, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008) handle destructors in ways compatible with MATLAB build compilers.

As mentioned above, this is a limitation of C++ compilers, not MATLAB. Most of the modern compilers handle destructors in ways compatible with MATLAB build compilers.
Calling mexErrMsgTxt does not clear the MEX-file from memory. So, mexErrMsgTxt does not invoke the function registered through mexAtExit.
mexAtExit is called when MEX function clears or MATLAB terminates.
