Not quite: "For a successful connection, the return value is the same as the value of the first parameter, unless you pass NULL for that parameter." (Manual) That is, if you pass NULL, the result value is _not_ the same as NULL. So, if you indeed pass NULL, the result is either (1) an invalid pointer (pointing to no object that makes sense), or (2) a valid one, in which case it must point to a MYSQL structure. Now, if (1), you can not possibly test the result, can you? You are in a limbo. If (2), the MYSQL structure must be a newly created one, since you did not pass any! And voila, you have created a MYSQL structure without mysql_init (this is of course is in contradiction with the rest of the documentation).
