I have a Windows socket program (XP and above) that calls WSAStartup
. Is it necessary to call WSACleanup
before the program exits? If I don't, will there be any negative consequences? In particular is:
WSACleanup();
exit(0);
different from merely exit(0)
. I realise that on Win16 omitting the WSACleanup
would leak system resources, is that still the case.
