Hello,
I have a problem with building hiredis + ndb_redis. The problem is with
hiredis rather than ndb_redis directly, but I am not sure how to best
handle it and would be grateful for any advice.
The problem is that somewhere with the recent Hiredis 0.13.0 release[1],
they came to use the following nested struct in the hiredis.h header:
---
/* Context for a connection to Redis */
typedef struct redisContext {
...
struct {
char *path;
} unix; /* line 158 */
...
} redisContext;
---
It appears the GNU compilers do not like the use of 'unix' as an identifier:
---
[root@proxy ndb_redis]# make
CC (gcc) [M ndb_redis.so] ndb_redis_mod.o
In file included from redis_client.h:27,
from ndb_redis_mod.c:38:
/usr/local/include/hiredis/hiredis.h:158: error: expected identifier or
‘(’ before numeric constant
make: *** [ndb_redis_mod.o] Error 1
---
Indeed, a quick test against a normal gcc installation on CentOS 6.6
reveals that 'unix' is a defined constant:
---
[root@proxy ~]# echo -e "#include <stdio.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\nint
main() { printf(\"%d\\\n\", unix); return 1; }" > ns.c
[root@proxy ~]# make ns
cc ns.c -o ns
[root@proxy ~]# ./ns
1
---
The authors of hiredis themselves note this problem in a recent commit:
---
commit d8145d79ce715054980938c751067ebaa541573c
Author: Jan-Erik Rediger <[email protected]>
Date: Thu Apr 16 22:51:32 2015 +0200
Always compile with C99 standard.
Turns out: gnu9x defines `unix` to 1, making it unusable as a variable
name.
---
So, their solution is to compile with -std=c99, which works fine.
The problem is that a) ndb_redis isn't compiled with -std=c99 and b) my
superficial effort at making it compile that way did not bear fruit:
---
[root@rproxy01 ndb_redis]# make MOD_CFLAGS='-fPIC -DPIC $(CFLAGS) -std=c99'
CC (gcc) [M ndb_redis.so] ndb_redis_mod.o

There are two separate problems here:
1) My invocation of 'make' above may betray an insufficient
understanding the Makefile chain & build process. Is there something I'm
doing wrong there?
2) In choosing to work around the issue this way, hiredis has imposed
the requirement on GNU C users to compile any applications utilising
hiredis with C99 themselves. This doesn't seem like a good solution. Is
there a more 'elegant' fix here? It seems to me they ought to rename
that 'unix' struct member.
The blame-worthy hiredis commit seems to be this one:

Implement a reconnect method for the client context
Originally implemented by @abedra as part of #306.
In case a write or read times out, we force an error state, because we
can't guarantuee that the next read will get the right data.
Instead we need to reconnect to have a clean-state connection, which is
now easily possible with this method.
i.e.
/* Context for a connection to Redis */
typedef struct redisContext {
int err; /* Error flags, 0 when there is no error */
@@ -136,6 +141,20 @@ typedef struct redisContext {
int flags;
char *obuf; /* Write buffer */
redisReader *reader; /* Protocol reader */
+
+ enum redisConnectionType connection_type;
+ struct timeval *timeout;
+
+ struct {
+ char *host;
+ char *source_addr;
+ int port;
+ } tcp;
+
+ struct {
+ char *path;
+ } unix;
+
} redisContext;

Reverting to the parent commit,
b872919463fbc04c3a8fde113cb9ae89dfcb3859, seems to fix the problem.
That's my workaround for now.
Thanks!
