Reusing client between connections

[embhorn]

Hello @denravonska

Thanks for your interest in the wolfMQTT project!

Q: Is the library supposed to support client reuse or are you supposed to initialize a new one on connect?

Yes, the library currently expects a fresh client structure prior to calling connect.

Q: Would you be interested in a MqttClient_Reset PR that handles all the internal clearing?

Certainly! That is a use case we had not considered. In order to accept any code changes, you will need to be an approved contributor. You can start this process by emailing [email protected] and referencing this issue. Otherwise, you can open feature request for this functionality by emailing the same address.

Thanks,
@embhorn - wolfSSL Support

Alrighty, I can start having a look while I wait for the process.

The base case will be trivial but I expect to fail spectacularly on the v5 and SN parts as I'm not familiar with those areas of the library, nor am I sure how I'll test it with those features.
