Hi,
I’m very happy you use my nginx kafka module. I found you modified 2 lines, and I wana discuss some points about it.

at line 162: I found that you change ngx_copy to memcpy. I don’t suggest you use memcpy here, because in nginx code style, nginx author use ngx_copy / ngx_memcpy to replace memcpy. You can see that in nginx source code: src/ngx_string.h. I cannot find nginx-1.6.0 in nginx-web-site: http://nginx.org/en/download.html, so, I don’t know if there are some changes about ngx_copy in version 1.6.0. But as we cannot find this version in nginx-web-site, I think maybe it is an un-stable version. Maybe you can use nginx-1.4.7, nginx-1.6.2, nginx-1.7.6 or nginx openrestry bundle(http://openresty.org/).

And I compiled nginx1.6.2 with error warning: "value computed is not used". See core/ngx_string.h, ngx_copy is defined to ngx_cpymem. the difference between ngx_cpymem and ngx_memcpy is that ngx_cpymem add n for its return value. And for our code, we don’t care about the return value of ngx_cpymem. So, replace ngx_copy by ngx_memcpy, the problem can be solved.

at line 286: you add main_conf = NULL when main_conf was declared. I read nginx source code and I found that nginx author DON’T like declare var with assignment. So, I changes this assignment in other place, and at end of this function, before the call of rd_kafka_poll, we must judge if main_conf != NULL, as there is a goto statement at line 308. I think it is better we keep our ngx-module code style with nginx source code.

I have committed the changes to my github.
I compile this module successfully with nginx-1.2.6/nginx-1.4.7 on my MacOS 10.9, and nginx-1.2.6/nginx-1.4.7/nginx-1.6.2 on ubuntu (gcc 4.6.3)

thank you for your bug fix commit.
btw, I am pool in english, wish you can understand my words. lol.

Hello.
I faced the problems while compiling this module with gcc version 4.1.2 and nginx-1.6.0.
And then i fixed codes.

Hello.
I am very happy to use your module and really appreciate you. ^^

at line 162: you are right. memcpy function should be changed to ngx_memcpy.
at line 308: if main_conf != NULL code is needed. I agreed with you.

I also compile this module successfully with nginx-1.6.0 on CentOS 5.8 (gcc version 4.1.2).
Thanks.
