Reconnection about redox HOT 6 OPEN

I've found a temporary solution.

Each time a disconnection happens, I build a redox object in order to try to establish a new connection.
In code, in gives me something like:

std::shared_ptr<redox::Redox> conn = std::make_shared<redox::Redox>(/* some configuration */);
conn->connect("127.0.0.1", 6379, state_changed_callback);

Then, when a disconnection is detected and state_changed_callback is called, I simply make:

conn->disconnect();
conn = std::make_shared<redox::Redox>(/* some configuration */);
conn->connect("127.0.0.1", 6379, state_changed_callback);

This works like a charm with the redox client. However, it is broken for the redox subscriber client.

If I call redox::Subscriber::disconnect, it results in a segfault with a backtrace similar to the one posted in the first post. So I only rebuild a new subscriber instance without calling disconnect on the old one each time a subscriber is disconnected.

This is a quite bad situation concerning the subscriber since nothing is freed in the redox::Subscriber destructor (unlike in the redox client), so it may be a possible source of memory leaks.

Hi Cylix, I agree that disconnection/reconnection is the biggest outstanding issue for Redox. I've been frustrated by the strange things hiredis tends to do. Definitely would like to take another smack at it when I get a chance.

Hello,

Is there some fixes already for that problem ? I would like to implement Redox to my production app.

I currently use a simple solution in my application (it is working in production).
If I want to reconnect, I simply close the previous connection and try to connect with a new redox client object.

Not really elegant but it works.

Okay thank you, I've seen your library but probably I will use this one. Is it possible to check if Redox is connected to the redis before calling some command ?

Or I should just setup the disconnection hanlder.

Heya, I've setup the handler, everything works but now also experiencing the problem with the subscribe. I just have to create new object without disonnection.
