mysql_real_connect returns 0 (1 reply)

hi to all, I've mysql server in centos 6 VM and client in centos 7 VM. I've building a small project using c++ and mysql. when i want to connect to server in program it shows segmentation fault. And after searching for bug I got mysql_real_connect returns nullptr. I've created a class Conn and static function connection(); which i call as MYSQL *mysql = Conn::connection(); mine code is :-

MYSQL * Conn::connection()
{
//MY_INIT(argv[0]);

mysql_init(mysql);


if(mysql_library_init(0,NULL, NULL))
{
std::cout << "mysql lib init " << std::endl;
exit(1);
}
else
{
std::cout << "library initialized\t";
}
// mysql = mysql_init(NULL);
// mysql = mysql_init(nullptr);
mysql = mysql_init(mysql);
if(mysql == NULL)
{
std::cout<< "mysql connector is NULL";
//cin.get();
exit(2);
}
else
{
std::cout << "mysql_init initialised\t";
}

// conn = mysql_real_connect (&mysql,"serverora.db.net","rahul","rahul","cbs",3306,NULL,0);
mysql = mysql_real_connect (mysql,opt_host,opt_user_name,opt_password,opt_db_name,opt_port,opt_socket_name,opt_flags);
if(mysql == 0)
{
std::cout << "mysql_real_connect returned 0 : ";
return 0;
}
else
{
std::cout << "mysql initialized";
}
return mysql;
}

code where error occured:-

void product::showAllProduct()
{
int times;
char choose;
clrscr();
drawrect();
int l = 5;
gotoxy(15, 5);

cout << "Welcome To Electronic Store";

gotoxy(15, 6);
cout << "Show All Items Menu\n";

string strQuery = "select *from tableProductRecords order by productname asc;";
gotoxy(1, 10);
mysql = Conn::connection();
cout << "mysql = " << mysql;

int qState = mysql_query(mysql, strQuery.c_str());// here error occures
if(!qState)
{
res = mysql_store_result(mysql);
int i = process_result_set(mysql, res, 10, &times, totallen);
}
else
{
cout << " error : " << " "<< mysql_error(mysql) << " " << endl;
}
cin.get();
}
output :-


library initialized mysql_init initialised mysql_real_connect returned 0 : mysql = 0
