[TEST][MinGW][Win10] Redis-plus-plus Test under MinGW

[dellorogiulio]

Hi @sewenew,
I open an "issue" to keep track of tests under MinGw. Maybe someone is interested in them,

Preface

I'm running redis 4.0 under Windows 10 natively (NO WSL), so I could not test some redis 5.x functionalities. Sorry about that but I was not able to find a Win10-native redis 5.0 distribution.
For this reason, I need to comment out:

• _test_zpop() (zset_cmds_test.hpp)
• _test_bzpop() (zset_cmds_test.hpp)
• _test_stream_cmds() (stream_cmds_test.hpp)
• _test_group_cmds() (stream_cmds_test.hpp)

Currently I'm not setting up a RedisClaster, I should update this topic once I can test Cluster too.
Trying to run _test_multithreads with pool_opts.size = 10 bring my virtual machine to never ends test.. I tried to leave it runs for about 4 hours but nothing goes further.
Even reducing pool_opts.size = 2 I was not able to terminate thread test.s

Thanks @dellorogiulio ! Great job!

Could you please also share how to build and install redis-plus-plus on MinGW? I'm not sure if the building steps I mentioned in README.md also works on MinGW.

Thanks again!

Regards

Hi @sewenew ,
Under MinGw I generally re-build everything from source.
So I clone the hiredis repo, add it as CMake submodule and link it against redis-plus-plus!

Good! So the install instruction in README works under MinGW. Thanks a lot!
