Can GetNetworkParams be called before main has started

[EvenAn]

Windows Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763
Building With Visual C++ 2013

Both running on VmWare, hosted on a Win10 system



Hello, I am working With a code coverage tool (CTC),

and it seems to be the case that my application hangs at startup.

Apparently there is a call to IPHLPAPI.DLL!_GetNetworkParams@8() Unknown,

and this Call ends up being stuck in ntdll.dll!_NtWaitForSingleObject@12() Unknown

The call is from _initterm, which I assume goes through the list of constructors, and

calls them


So the question is. Is it safe to call GetNetworkParams before main has started execution,

or is there a risk that something will fail in this case ?
