Question

What is new name of load_defaults() function in mysql c api?

I tried the following code from this link (http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/ch06-2ed.pdf). I am using MySQL 5.7 and Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7/64bit. The load_defaults() function no more exists. There is no documentation on it. What is the new name of load_defaults() function?

#include <my_global.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <my_sys.h> //#include <my_getopt.h>

static const char *client_groups[] = { "show_argv","client", NULL };

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {  int i;

    printf("Original argument vector:\n");  for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)      printf("arg %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);

    my_init();  my_load_defaults("my", client_groups, &argc, &argv);

    printf("Modified argument vector:\n");  for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)      printf("arg %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);         exit(0); }

load_defaults was never meant to be used outside of the client lib. It had therefore been removed from the library exports. I assumed this would still be the case, but then I found: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=25535, which seems to indicate this function has been renamed and re-exported. Didn't check this myself, though .
