Hi Daniel!
Thank you for your reply!
Do you mean that although an explicit call to curl_global_init is not thread safe, an implicit call from, e.g., curl_easy_init is still thread safe? So that in a multi-threaded process I would not want to explicitely call curl_global_init but rather would call curl_easy_init and rely on the implicit initialization?
Best,
Konstantin

On the other hand, the description of curl_global_init states: "This function is not thread safe. You must not call it when any other thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is running. This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using libcurl."
