* 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).
