Connect to shared MATLAB session synchronously

Description

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> connectMATLAB()

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> connectMATLAB(const matlab::engine::String& name)

Connect synchronously to a shared MATLAB^® session on the local machine.

• If you specify the name of a shared MATLAB session, but the engine cannot find a session with that name, the engine throws an exception.

• If you do not specify a name and there is no shared MATLAB session available, the engine starts a new shared MATLAB session. The MATLAB desktop is not started.

• If you do not specify a name and there are shared MATLAB sessions available, the engine connects to the first available session.
