RFA C++ client hung

We had this issue over 3 times where rfa core went into a wait-forever scenario where it was trying free up memory for internal event queue due to slow consumer or whatever reason. We highly suspect it is waiting on a consumed event to be consumed so it's never going to happen. We have not seen any disconnection or error.. just that it stopped updating market data.

    The case is now closed. The solution has been provided to improve event processing and avoid mutex lock. After testing the new implementation, it seems to help resolve the issue.

    Apologize for the late response. I have reviewed the call stack and it quite hard to pinpoint possible issues based on the call stack. However, there is some case that users put the codes to destroy the event queue or destroy the RFA object in the destructor of their class and it can cause unexpected behavior when the application deletes the object and shows a similar call stack. I believe that the root cause may relate to some specific workflow and it requires further investigation by RDC API Support.

    Note that RDC is a subscription-based support service and basically you can contact RDC subscribers inside your company in order to submit a new case to the RDC API support team via Contact Premium Support at

    Anyway, I just found that you already opened a case with the Help desk team, we will therefore refer the issue to RDC API Support so that they can help you investigate the issue further.
