There is indeed enough information to find this scenario. Here is a very 
simple callback I use at the moment:

void DB_error_callback(dbi_conn conn, void *udata){
     int rv;
     const char *errormsg = NULL;

     rv = dbi_conn_error(DB_conn,&errormsg);
     if(strstr(errormsg,"gone away")){
         rv = dbi_conn_connect(DB_conn);
         if(rv){
             printf("ERROR: DB_error_callback: Tried to reconnect - 
failed\n");
         }else {
             printf("ERROR: DB_error_callback: Reconnected\n");
         }
     }
}
