How to return the result of a matlab function in c++?

Question

C++ / C#

Hello, I have a data file. How can you execute a matlab function, for example, "eci2lla", with data from a file, without running matlab itself using its api from c++?

Answer 1

It is not possible to execute a matlab function without running matlab. But it is possible to generate C-code from a function written in matlab. Check out MATLAB Coder.
The second option is mex files. It's something like a dll. You can run C/C++ code from matlab.
