This is especially true if you are on Windows. Each version of Visual Studio will link against a different runtime. Even debug and release are different runtimes. The most important thing to ensure is that memory allocation and freeing are done in the same runtime. Also file opens and closes. Otherwise you will get bugs that are very difficult to track down.
