Does the Matlab2010a compiled C mex files run on Matlab2008a always ?

Does the C sfunction mex files compiled in matlab2010a works always in Matlab2008a ? I have tried a couple of sfunctions and worked fine. I am wondering is there a specific case which might cause an issue...

I think the only deterministic way of verifying if a MEX-file compiled in newer versions will work in older versions might be to go through the MATLAB Release Notes between the two releases in question, and see if there's anything listed under "External Interfaces" that is related to the MEX-related features that you are using. Other than that, I would recommend writing some automated tests to make sure that the behavior is the same.
