Matlab doesn't have a C++ API. Which "C/C++" API are you talking
about? C and C++ are two different languages.

Octave's API is in C++. You use feval to evaluate expression, and you
get them back in octave_values.

Matlab's API is in C. You use mxFoo functions to manipulate them, and
there's a separate "engine" to evaluate expressions, which you get in
mex classes.

Look at the following example for doing a standalone Octave program:
