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.
Lets the application set per-connection metadata.
Metadata is specified as "X-key:value" and set using zmq_setsockopt, eg:
zmq_setsockopt (s, ZMQ_METADATA, "X-key:value", 11);
The peer can then obtain the metadata from a received message:
char *data = zmq_msg_gets(msg, "X-key");
* 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: initialise variable in options.cpp to dummy value to fix

The zero copy decoding strategy implemented for 4.2.0 can lead to a large
increase of main memory usage in some cases (I have seen one program go up to
40G from 10G after upgrading from 4.1.4). This commit adds a new option to
contexts, called ZMQ_ZERO_COPY_RECV, which allows one to switch to the old
decoding strategy.
Solution: add ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN to hide backward incompatible
change and make it disabled by default.
In a future release that breaks API compatibility we can then switch
the default to enabled in order to achieve full RFC compatibility.

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.
Problem: GSSAPI DRAFT code was made conditional on
ZMQ_BUILD_DRAFT_API, but zmq_draft.h duplicates the DRAFT
symbols definitions from zmq.h so this is unnecessary.
Solution: drop the extra ifdefs
Problem: The new GSSAPI NAMESPACE options should have been
added to the DRAFT section of the API so they can be changed
until stabilized.
Solution:
- Move defines to the DRAFT section of zmq.h
- Duplicate them in zmq_draft.h, as is the local custom
- Compile only if defined (ZMQ_BUILD_DRAFT_API)
- Refactor internals slightly to avoid #ifdef hell
Problem: principals are looked up unconditionally
with the GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE name type.
Solution: Add two new socket options to set the name type
for ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL and ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL:
ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE
ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE
They take an integer argument which must be one of
ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED (0) - default
ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME (1)
ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL (2)
These correspond to GSSAPI name types of:
GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE
GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME
GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME
Fixes#2542
Solution: always initialised zmq::options_t class variables arrays to
avoid reading uninitialised data when CURVE is not yet configured and
a getsockopt ZMQ_CURVE_{SERVER | PUBLIC | SECRET]KEY is issued.
It's unclear which we need and in the source code, conditional code
treats tweetnacl as a subclass of libsodium, which is inaccurate.
Solution: redesign the configure/cmake API for this:
* tweetnacl is present by default and cannot be enabled
* libsodium can be enabled using --with-libsodium, which replaces
the built-in tweetnacl
* CURVE encryption can be disabled entirely using --enable-curve=no
The macros we define in platform.hpp are:
ZMQ_HAVE_CURVE 1 // When CURVE is enabled
HAVE_LIBSODIUM 1 // When we are using libsodium
HAVE_TWEETNACL 1 // When we're using tweetnacl (default)
As of this patch, the default build of libzmq always has CURVE
security, and always uses tweetnacl.
