'Asking for the best practice for managing third-party libraries (for C++) in code base
context: company that I am working at checked in a variety of third-party library for C++ and python. These days, I upgraded the curl library due to an issue related with curl, which is fixed in a later version.
But after upgrade, problem pop out: several python programs errors "invalid argument", which I never met in the past one year before upgrade. I suspect one possibility is we have multiple curls in our codebase, only one of them is explicitly checked-in my us, and all others are brought in by other third-party libraries.
bazel cquery supports it: I do see a bunch of "curl". And I know which curl function is used (for dynamic link) depends on import order in python.
I want to know for this kind of problem, do we have "best practice" or "recommended way" to manage third-party libraries, especially commonly-used ones like curl?
