Yes, but not without drawbacks. If you don't call curl_global_init() at all, libcurl will notice that on first use and then libcurl will call global_init by itself with a default bitmask. That automatic call of course will prevent the application from being able to set its own bitmask choice, and also the global_init function is not (necessarily) thread safe while all other libcurl functions are so the internal call to global_init from an otherwise thread-safe function is unfortunate. -- / daniel.haxx.se -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
