This enhancement has been incorporated in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a). You can use the following command to get the currently selected compiler for MEX:
mex.getCompilerConfigurations

For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
you can determine the currently selected compiler for MEX by viewing the following options files:
1. On Windows: mexopts.bat
2. On Linux/UNIX/Mac: mexopts.sh,
This is located in the preferences directory on your machine. The complete address of the preference directory can be obtained using the following command:
prefdir
To determine the currently selected compiler before using the MCC or the MBUILD command, open the following options files in the above directory:
1. On Windows: compopts.bat
2. On Linux/Unix/Mac: compopts.sh file
These option files contain the settings for the current compiler.
