Solution: detect cacheline size for aligment purposes at build time
instead of hard-coding it, so that PPC and S390 can align to a value
greater than the 64 bytes default.
Uses libc getconf program, and falls back to the previous value of 64
if not found.
Solution: set the appropriate options, environment variables and paths
so that the host pkg-config files are ignored, and the target ones are
used instead (if any)
Solution: use requires.private, which pkg-config expands recursively
so that dependencies of dependencies can be linked against when
using pkg-config --static
* always run tests from tarball of `make dist`
ensures that tests will not pass if critical files are omitted from releases
* add explicit make dist only for non-default builds
distcheck should already cover this for default builds
* don’t verify that valgrind/coverage tests can be run from dists
* add various files missing from dists
- missing template from cmake
- add missing android build files
- add some missing ci_build.sh scripts
* Problem: Still need to port over more files to VxWorks 6.x
Solution: Port more files to VxWorks 6.x
* Problem: Need to port over remaining files to VxWorks 6.x. Also remove POSIX thread dependency for VxWorks (because of priority inversion problem in POSIX mutexes with VxWorks 6.x processes)
Solution: Port over remaining files to VxWorks 6.x. Also removed POSIX thread dependency for VxWorks
* Problem: Needed to modify TCP, UDP, TIPC classes with #ifdefs to be compatible with VxWorks 6.x.
Solution: Modify TCP, UDP, TIPC classes with #ifdefs to be compatible with VxWorks 6.x
* Problem: TIPC availability check is too strict
Solution: at build time only check if the API is available. In the tests
do a first check and a skip if the functionality is not available.
TIPC needs an in-tree but not loaded by default kernel module, tipc.ko
to be loaded, which requires root, so it is unlikely to be available on
any build system by default.
This will allow most distributions to ship with TIPC support built in,
and to avoid tests failure if the module is not there.
* Problem: no Travis tests for TIPC
Solution: mark one job with sudo: required and load the kernel module
* Problem: CMake fails when test returns 77 (skip)
Solution: set property to let it mark the test as skipped as intended
* Background thread scheduling
- add ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY ctx option; set all thread scheduling options
from the context of the secondary thread instead of using the main
process thread context!
- change ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY to support setting NICE of the background
thread when using SCHED_OTHER
Solution: generate list of sources and headers with:
ls -1 src/*cpp | sort | sed 's|src/\(.*\)| <File RelativePath="..\\..\\..\\..\\src\\\1" />|g'
ls -1 src/*hpp | sort | sed 's|src/\(.*\)| <File RelativePath="..\\..\\..\\..\\src\\\1" />|g'
and add them.
Linux now supports Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) as per:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
In order for an application to bind or connect to a socket with an
address in a VRF, they need to first bind the socket to the VRF device:
setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1);
Note "dev" is the VRF device, eg. VRF "blue", rather than an interface
enslaved to the VRF.
Add a new socket option, ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE, to bind a socket to a device.
In general, if a socket is bound to a device, eg. an interface, only
packets received from that particular device are processed by the socket.
If device is a VRF device, then subsequent binds/connects to that socket
use addresses in the VRF routing table.
* add define for windows/UWP
* prevent issue with COM references
* gettickcount not available on uwp
* add compiler definitions
* add convenitnece cmake file
* brute force uwp compilation
* fix compiler version
* cosmetics
(msys building is buggy, please be aware, it fails to compile on my
machine) also I modified the buildall.bat/buildbase.bat to use correct
MSVC versions instead of "visual studio 2017"
Solution: use pthread API to set the name. For now call every thread
"ZMQ b/g thread". Would be nice to number the I/O threads and name
explicitly the reaper thread, but in reality a bit of internal API
churn would be necessary, so perhaps it's not worth it.
This is useful when debugging a process with many threads.
* cmake WITH_LIBSODIUM option is broken
- Fixed the variable name in platform.hpp.in
- Fixed #if check for randombytes_close() when libsodium is used
* Fixed typo from previous commit
* Reverted compile error fix for randombytes_close()
Solution: use packages on Ubuntu and brews on OSX. The packages and
the brews are always kept up to date, so it's no use to rebuild the
libsodium stable branch manually everytime.
Solution: Provide poll() for Windows as well. This is a build option that
defaults to off as the resulting binary will only run on Windows Vista or
newer.
This is not tested with alternative Winsock service providers like VMCI,
but the documentation for WSAPoll does not mention limitations.
On my local machine, throughput improves by ~10 % (20 simultaneous
remote_thr workes to one local_thr, 10 byte messages), while latency
improves by ~30 % (measured with remote/local_lat).
Solution: add macro in ZMQSourceRunChecks.cmake and optionally
include the TIPC sources if the support is available.
More importantly, only run the TIPC tests if the support is there.
A Visual Studio build from master (commit id: dac5b45dfb) using the v140_xp toolset yields a binary that is not XP compatible.
Two libraries contain exports that cannot be found:
- IPHLPAPI.DLL : if_nametoindex
- KERNEL32.DLL : InitializeConditionVariable
The latter export is already dealt with in the file './src/condition_variable.hpp'; however this requires setting the _WIN32_WINNT pre-processor definition.
I am not experienced enough to figure a work around for the 'if_nametoindex' method, so I have created a new pre-processor definition 'ZMQ_HAVE_WINDOWS_TARGET_XP' and removed the calling of the function with the limitation that these builds cannot handle a IPv6 address with an adapter name.
To make it easier for people targeting XP with an MSVC build I have modified the MSBuild property file to add/modify the pre-processor definitions if they are building using a XP targeting tool set; such as v140_xp.
* Added a new .gitignore file for excluding Visual Studio build output any popular plug-in generated content. (This was copied from the GitHub project https://github.com/github/gitignore).
* Removed the basic ignore settings from the root folder in favour of more precision within the subfolder's .gitignore file
* Added the new VC compiler's experimental Intellisense database file
All the older (vs2010 -> vs2013) projects had copies of the Visual Studio 2015 MSBuild applied to them when running the 'configure.bat' batch file. Any modifications to a property sheet was not applied to the other Visual Studio versions' projects unless the batch file was re-executed.
* Modified the older projects to reference the Visual Studio 2015 property sheets so changes are immediately applied
* Removed the batch file copy steps (which left the repository very dirty after execution)
Solution: update builds/valgrind/valgrind.supp to ignore glibc's
__libc_freeres calls. This code runs after the program exits, and
tries to de-allocate memory allocated internally by glibc, so it has
nothing to do with libzmq code. This suppression is added by default
in newer versions of Valgrind, not yet available on older
distributions.
Solution: remove temporarily until proper message limits have been
implemented, then a more granular test case can be added without
such high requirements which are problematic in embedded environment,
build systems, VMs and CI systems
Solution: Modified projects to create PDB file for RELEASE targets
- also spread precompiled settings to all DevStudio solution versions
This change affects Windows builds only
Solution: The Coverity Static Code Analyzer was used on libzmq code and found
many issues with uninitialized member variables, some redefinition of variables
hidding previous instances of same variable name and a couple of functions
where return values were not checked, even though all other occurrences were
checked (e.g. init_size() return).
Solution: Use CMD.EXE environment variable to extract DevStudio version
number and build using it. This even supports machines with multiple
DevStudio versions installed, as long as the build for each version is
done on a separate window with the correct environment.
If multiple version builds are desired from a single CMD.EXE, edit the
buildall.bat file to uncomment the build statements for each specific
version desired.
Gyp needs its own platform.hpp; there is no way to delete this
file automatically.
Solution: copy gyp's platform.hpp into src, so that things build
properly no matter what the starting state. If you build with gyp
and then try to build using autotools' makefile, you'll get an
error from the platform.hpp.
There were numerous small issues with test cases:
- some lacked the right source file header
- some were not portable at all
- some were using internal libzmq APIs (headers)
Solution: fixed and cleaned up.
Solution: it's a lot of work to define the tests in project.gyp
so I did this using gsl to generate the JSON, from a small XML
list of the test cases.
To keep this, and the hundreds of .mk files, away from the root
directory, I've moved the gyp files into builds/gyp, where you
would run them.
It all seems to work now. Next up, OS/X and Windows :)
This is rather insane since the code knows well enough what systems
support if_nametoindex. I blame this on over-use of autotools early
in libzmq's days.
Anyhow, this breaks gyp builds on OS/X.
Solution: add ZMQ_HAVE_IFADDRS to build/gyp/platform.hpp for OS/X.
Solution: establish a matrix of CI options. On one axis we have the
build system (autotools, cmake, android) and on the other axis we
have the encryption options (tweetnacl, libsodium or none).
I'm adding gyp support so that we can easily pull in libzmq
and other C/C++ projects into gyp packages, especially via
node-gyp.
Solution: add gyp definition
This works only for Windows, OS/X, and Linux. We set a single
macro in project.gyp according to the system, and the rest is
done in builds/gyp/platform.hpp. The values in that file are
not dynamic. Your mileage will vary.
- they have no copyright / license statement
- they are in some randomish directory structure
- they are a mix of postable and non-portable files
- they do not conform to conditional compile environment
Overall, it makes it rather more work than needed, in build scripts.
Solution: clean up tweetnacl sauce.
- merged code into single tweetnacl.c and .h
- standard copyright header, DJB to AUTHORS
- moved into src/ along with all other source files
- all system and conditional compilation hidden in these files
- thus, they can be compiled and packaged in all cases
- ZMQ_USE_TWEETNACL is set when we're using built-in tweetnacl
- HAVE_LIBSODIUM is set when we're using external libsodium
