Cannot start or connect to MATLAB session.

matlab::engine::CancelException

Execution of command is canceled.

matlab::engine::InterruptedException

Evaluation of command is interrupted.

matlab::engine::MATLABNotAvailableException

The MATLAB session is not available.

Method Details

cancel

bool FutureResult::cancel(bool allowInterrupt = true);
Description

Cancel the evaluation of the MATLAB function or statement. You cannot cancel asynchronous operations that use: matlab::engine::startMATLABAsync, matlab::engine::connectMATLABAsync, or matlab::engine::findMATLABAsync.

Parameters

bool allowInterrupt

If false, do not interrupt if execution had already begun.

Returns

bool

Was command canceled if execution had already begun.

Example
bool flag = future.cancel();
Exception Safety
