简化源码:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

MYSQL mysql;

mysql_init(&mysql);

错误:
#gcc  -c mysql.c -o mysql
mysql.c:7: error: syntax error before '&' token
mysql.c:7: error: conflicting types for 'mysql_init'
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h:386: error: previous declaration of 'mysql_init' was here
mysql.c:7: error: conflicting types for 'mysql_init'
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h:386: error: previous declaration of 'mysql_init' was here
