[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-c: how to detect broker failure

Mon Oct 7 07:16:30 BST 2013

It depends on what you mean by "broker failure".

If you mean the broker hardware dies, the broker crashes, or (more likely)
something interrupts the network: you'll get an network error on the client
side.  In rabbitmq-c this manifests itself in different ways depending on
the function being called: for functions returning an int, a non-zero value
is returned, for functions returning an amqp_rpc_reply_t, type will be set
to AMQP_RESPONSE_LIBRARY_EXCEPTION and library_error will be set to
something non-zero, and for things returning a amqp_*_t object if a NULL
value is returned, calling amqp_get_last_rpc_reply() will get an
amqp_rpc_reply_t which the above rule should be followed.
