Need your guidance on usage of curl_global_init function call?
Do we need to call this function every time or only once at the starting of
the application?
Once per lifetime of the application.
Does it mean that once in whole application?
Yes
What if i have different threads which make libcurl function calls?
Doesn't matter, it is a global init.
Do i need to make curl_global_init function call in each of this thread?
Nope.
We are making curl_global_init function call in each of these threads in
addition to one at start of the call. Do we need to call curl_global_cleanup
when we are existing from this thread.
You shouldn't call curl_global_init for each thread, but you should call
curl_global_cleanup once for each time you called curl_global_init.
Will there be memory leak if we dont call curl_global_cleanup function
before exiting the online thread?
Perhaps, I don't think we're willing to guarantee that it won't ever be one
even if I think you won't leak memory now since only the first call to
curl_global_init will actually do anything and the following ones are just
increasing a counter.
