Still not good. There's a difference of relying on some component initializing a library because it uses internally, and initializing it because it's also giving you back stuff from it. In the first case, yes, relying on that and not being explicit can cause you problems in the future, but for the second, even if Ecore can be built without Evas, ecore_evas_init() is pretty much guaranteed to init Evas as well, unless something is very wrong somewhere. So being explicit or not depends on you knowing what you are doing, which doesn't necessarily imply that you know the internals of what you are using. > -- > Tom. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
