To control Redis using C++, you can use a Redis client library such as hiredis or redox. Here’s an example of how to use hiredis to perform some basic Redis operations in C++:
#include <hiredis/hiredis.h>
int main() {
redisContext* c = redisConnect("localhost", 6379); // connect to Redis server
if (c == NULL || c->err) {
printf("Error connecting to Redis: %s\n", c ? c->errstr : "can't allocate redis context");
exit(1);
}
// SET operation
redisReply* reply = (redisReply*)redisCommand(c, "SET mykey somevalue");
printf("SET: %s\n", reply->str);
freeReplyObject(reply);
// GET operation
reply = (redisReply*)redisCommand(c, "GET mykey");
printf("GET: %s\n", reply->str);
freeReplyObject(reply);
// INCR operation
reply = (redisReply*)redisCommand(c, "INCR counter");
printf("INCR: %lld\n", reply->integer);
freeReplyObject(reply);
redisFree(c); // disconnect from Redis server
return 0;
}
This code connects to a Redis server running on the local machine, sets a key-value pair, retrieves the value, and performs an increment operation. You can modify this code to suit your specific needs.
