Hi!

I must say I do not truly know how that error crept into Win32 source,
but that function is truly simple :


ulong STDCALL
mysql_real_escape_string(MYSQL *mysql, char *to,const char *from,
                         ulong length)
{
  return mysql_sub_escape_string(mysql->charset,to,from,length);
}
