There are two ways to fix it:
1. Make the MySQL++ docs reflect the underlying C API requirement
2. Somehow protect all calls to MySQL++ so that it inits the underlying C API library no
matter which code path you use, thereby wrapping up all this complexity inside MySQL++.
It sounds like you want #2. That sounds like a fine idea, but personally, I don't use
threads with MySQL++ -- as if you you'd never guess from the second paragraph of the
userman chapter you link to -- so I have little incentive to fix it. It's your itch.
Scratch it.
If you leave it to me, I'll likely either continue to ignore the issue or do #1.
