Dear pari-dev,

what is the recommended way to detect whether or not pari_init() has
already been called? This is useful for libraries which might
interact which other libraries which have initialized PARI.


I would say it is not recommended.
Are you saying that this is a useless feature request? Imagine one application linking to several libraries which all use PARI. How would you solve the problem that all those libraries try to call pari_init()?
