mysql_thread_init

mysql_thread_init initializes thread-local variables for multi-threaded Connector/C clients; called automatically by mysql_init if not invoked explicitly. Deprecated in Connector/C 3.0.

Syntax

my_bool mysql_thread_init(void );

Description

Thread initialization for multi-threaded clients. mysql_thread_init() is now an empty no-op; it is not called automatically by mysql_init() or mysql_real_connect().

Return Value

Always returns 0 (no-op).

Before a client thread ends the mysql_thread_end() function must be called to release memory - otherwise the client library will report an error.

This function has been deprecated since MariaDB Connector/C 3.0.0.
