I wrote an application using mysql C API.
If I exit my application without closing database, will it be closed automatically?
void error(int code) {
printf("error: %d\n", code);
exit(0);
}
int main() {
...
error(-255);
...
}
How to pass the mysql database connector to a function? is this correct? :
void error(int code, MYSQL db) {
mysql_close(&db);
printf("error: %d\n", code);
exit(0);
}
Because I am not sure this will be correct ... should not it using pointer?
Thanks.

no idea, I use PHP, but usually the connection is closed as soon as you leave the script or application.
