gethostbyname is thread unsafe

[ProRealTime]

Hi,
I'm using cpp_redis in a multithreaded environment. Running DRD on several usecases, it seems that this function is not thread safe as confirmed by linux man page.
Cheers,

That's indeed true, good catch.

I'm kind in a rush these days as I'm moving to the US by the end of the week, so I won't be able to fix that until next week (or maybe during my flight).

Thanks for opening the issue :)

https://linux.die.net/man/3/an_gethostbyname looks like a good replacement.
No pb. Thank you for your work and best of luck in the US ; )

Thanks!
That looks a really good alternative, I'll look into that as soon as possible :)

Apparently, an_gethostbyname is not available everywhere.
So I simply used getaddrinfo instead which is thread safe and was already used for the windows implementation.

Please feel free to re-open the issue if necessary.
