redis_client.pmod

This is a Redis client implemented as a Pike module. I noticed that the list of clients on Redis' website was lacking a Pike implementation, and since I've recently decided to learn Pike, I thought I'd contribute this.

The design of this library is primarily inspired by that of the popular Ruby gem -- object-oriented, that is.

NOTE! This code is not 100% ready. It works but I don't know if everything works. I also have no clue how idiomatically Pike it is -- I've just started learning the language. I promise I'll let everyone know when I'm finally OK with this code. Most notably, there is no support for command pipelining nor asynchronous execution just yet.

Example

include .redis_client;

int main() {
  Redis db;
  
  db = Redis();
  db->connect();
  db->ping();
  db->echo("Hello, Redis -- from Pike");

  db->lpush("characters", "Marten");
  db->lpush("characters", "Dora");
  db->lpush("characters", "Hannelore");
  write("There are %d characters\n", db->llen("characters"));

  db->disconnect();
  return 0;
}
