In case of a connection failure (i.e. specify incorrect port number), the main thread would be blocked. This is fixed by setting the condition variables correctly in case of a connection error. The test TestConnectionFailure will hang without this fix.
-
Instructions in README, some minor changes to comments.
-
This enables full support for binary data, with no tokenization needed and all the assumptions that come with that. All of the core methods are changed to accept vector<string>& instead of string&. Ported all examples and tutorial as well.
-
This makes more sense logically, and lets the Redox object get default constructed with nothing but the optional logger parameters.
-
More intuitive if disconnect() blocks like connect(). Most clients will want to use these two methods. For more fine grained control, disconnect() is just a combo of stop() and wait().
-
Configure CMake to generate libredox.so and libredox_static.a, and have all examples use the dynamic library. This is how Redox should be used in practice, and greatly reduces the compilation time of the examples. Also renamed redox.[ch]pp to client.[ch]pp and created one master header redox.hpp for users to include. This header right now just includes client.hpp, command.hpp, and subscriber.hpp.
-
Make .free() on commands send a message over an async watcher to the event loop, just like adding commands. This gets rid of some very tough to find memory bugs. Combined .cancel() with .free(), so there is only one method to call, whether for synchronous commands or for looped commands. Also debug some horrible segfaults related to Subscriber. Something is odd with hiredis and subscriptions, need to ask them. It seems when we flood with commands it doesn't disconnect cleanly. Look for a way to wait until all commands are processed.
-
Conform (mostly) to Google C++ guidelines. Apache license notice and link above each core file.
-
Refactor state management code to use three methods .connect(), .disconnect(), and .wait(). Start conforming to uniform coding style already applied to Command class. Split off subscribe functionality into its own class Subscriber. This is good because it was introducing unnecessary state and complexity into the main client. Now, Redox handles publishing like any other command and the Subscriber receives messages.
-
Using free_guard_ as the same mutex in .reply() causes deadlock when a callback accesses .reply(). Make a separate mutex.
-
Split up command into command, command_blocking, and command_looping. The original command no longer returns anything, which clarifies how it should be used in most cases. command_looping and command_blocking both return a command object. Also added a waiting CV to the Command object, though it is not used in command_blocking yet.
-
Now, there is only one callback for command(), and it returns a const reference to the Command object. The user is responsible for error checking using c.ok(), c.status(), and getting the reply with c.reply(). This significantly cleans up the library code and the user code. Greatly refactored the data type specialization code in command.cpp.
-
Added GTest under test/. Great for unit testing commands. Added some nice helper functions to make writing tests easy. Added options to CMakeLists to build the library, tests, and examples separately, configurable through ccmake. Also default the build type to RelWithDebInfo, but don't override user settings.
