Solution: check if a session's _pipe has been allocated before using
it, since as a consequence of creating the pipes after the handshake
it's no longer guaranteed to be there.
Fixes#3971
ZMQ_ROUTER_NOTIFY doesn't have a context and doesn't play nice with protocols. with ZMQ_DISCONNECT_MSG we can set it to a protocol message, like DISCONNECT in majordomo. Router will send it when a peer is disconnected. Another advantage of ZMQ_DISCONNECT_MSG is that it also works on inproc.
Together with ZMQ_HEARTBEAT it allows to build very reliable protocols, and much simpler as well.
When using ZMQ_HEARTBEAT one still needs to implement application-level heartbeat in order to know when to send a hello message.
For example, with the majordomo protocol, the worker needs to send a READY message when connecting to a broker. If the connection to the broker drops, and the heartbeat recognizes it the worker won't know about it and won't send the READY msg.
To solve that, the majordomo worker still has to implement heartbeat. With this new option, whenever the connection drops and reconnects the hello message will be sent, greatly simplify the majordomo protocol, as now READY and HEARTBEAT can be handled by zeromq.
Conditinoal compile for OPENPGM and NORM is mixed.
Also found few codes which needs conditional compile but not applied.
Solution: Apply conditional compile preprocessors
Solution: a new socket type, called PEER. Very similar to SERVER, but can only connect to other PEERs. Also a new zmq_connect_peer method, that connect and return a routing-id in thread-safe and atomic operation
Solution: add API and ZMQ_EVENT_PIPES_STATS event which generates 2
values, one for the egress and one for the ingress pipes respectively.
Refactor the events code to be able to send multiple values.
Solution: temporary revert refactoring until it can be properly fixed.
Revert "Problem: complexity of start_connecting"
This reverts commit 6d7aeb056f.
Solution: add some msg helpers to parse commands, and check for
subscribe or cancel commands and process them accordingly in the xpub
and xsub classes.
* 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
Solution: when a connection breaks and ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL is set to -1,
which means a reconnection will not be attempted, send a message from
the I/O thread to the application thread to make the socket call
term_endpoint, which is the equivalent of manually calling
zmq_disconnect.
This way subsequent zmq_connect call to the same endpoint will attempt
again to do a connection.
Otherwise, for some socket types like SUBs, those new connects will
fail as the endpoint is recorded, despite the connection having been
permanently closed.
Add test cases to exercise this corner case with TCP and IPC.
