Re: Octave crashes on old MEX-files: how can I detect/prevent this?

[siko1056]

AFAIK, there is no function to check a MEX-file to be valid for usage with a
certain version of Octave. If you want to check in advance whether your
version of Octave can handle a MEX-file, say myfunc.mex, try calling

try
  which myfunc
catch(e)
  disp("recompile MEX file!")
  disp(e.message)
end_try_catch

And you'll get errors in the case, that certain dynamic libraries cannot be
loaded, a necessary condition for this MEX-file to run, but not sufficient.

HTH, Kai
