AgentX++: Subagent Reconnect does not work

[christel.sohnemann____philips.com]

Hi everybody,
I have the following run-loop in a thread, which is a AgentX++ subagent:

	do
	{
		while( (! m_pMib->get_agentx()->quit()) && (! m_bStopped ) )
		{
			pRequest = m_pReqList->receive(m_uiListenerTimeout);
			if( pRequest )
			{
				m_pMib->process_request(pRequest);
			}
			else
			{
				m_pMib->ping_master();
			}

		}

		if ( ! m_bStopped )
		{
			Sleep(m_uiListenerTimeout);
			m_pMib->save_all();	// saves persistent MIB objects to disk
			initMib();			// reestablish connection with master
								// and load MIB objects from disk
		}
	} while (m_bAutoRestart && (! m_bStopped ) );

m_bStop is a bool flag to terminate the Thread from outside, m_bAutoRestart is a flag to configure the 
subagent whether it should automatically restart or not. It is set to true.

What I find out is, that the inner while loop never terminates, even if I stop the master agent. The "quit" method returns the "stopit"
member of the class, but it is always true. I followed your example about the restart-mechanism, so what's wrong with it? 
Is there no such thing as reestablishing the master & subagent connection? How can the subagent find out, that it's master
has died if not in this way?

Best regards,
Christel
