sdsalloc.h doesn't seem to be installed as part of regular hiredis

Line 19 in a5574a9

#include <hiredis/sdsalloc.h>

When I look at the Makefile of hiredis:

https://github.com/redis/hiredis/blob/6f5bae8c6900e051da6e677756508707565ce56e/Makefile#L302-L310

I don’t see sdsalloc.h to be installed at all, therefore it is not installed on my openSUSE system. Any ideas how to get this file? Is it a bug in hiredis-py or in the installation Makefile of hiredis?

@mcepl Have you seen vendor/sdsalloc.h in the codebase? You need to ensure you update submodules as well.

git submodule update --init --recursive is your friend

Given I am trying to use tarball from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/h/hiredis/hiredis-2.2.2.tar.gz I would hope it is included. It actually is, but I would prefer if I could use include files from the hiredis package itself, not the vendored one.

I'm in the same situation, trying to update this package to 2.2.2 on GNU Guix; there's no sdalloc.h file in hiredis 1.1.1:

I find it curious that a 'vendored' file doesn't exist upstream; is it something added by hiredis-py?

I would also like to be able to simply link against a system-provided hiredis.

[Apteryks]

The https://github.com/redis/hiredis/blob/v1.1.0/sdsalloc.h file seems to contain 3 re-definitions, perhaps for backward compatibility purpose? hiredis-py could probably be adjusted to use alloc.h and the originally named definitions it contains instead.

[Apteryks]

@mcepl hi! you may be interested in #159 and #161 to allow using a system-provided hiredis library.

[mcepl]

Thank you, https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1072918

[chayim]

@Apteryks where did you get a hiredis 1.1.1 - the last release I see is 1.1.0

[bugant]

@chayim is there any interest in having #159 and #161 merged? I'm asking because I'm in the process of creating a Fedora package for this project and having the same issue described in here.
