Solution: mark test_rebind_ipc as XFAIL on Hurd as it does not
implement getsockname on IPC and thus it's impossible to use
wildcard IPC binds.
Document that ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT does not work on Hurd with IPC.
Solution: remove documents and tests for ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY getter. It
never worked and can never work as it has the same value as a get-only
option ZMQ_SOCKET_LIMIT. It cannot be changed without breaking ABI.
Note that the setter works fine as ZMQ_SOCKET_LIMIT is get-only.
Solution: revert DRAFT -> STABLE API transition so that we can do a
bugfix-only 4.2.5 release.
Will be re-reverted once tagged.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE has met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 3cb79f5042.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_MSG_GSSAPI_* have met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 374da4207b.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_MSG_T_SIZE has met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 6411c4a247.
Revert "Problem: docs say STABLE API still in DRAFT"
This reverts commit 9f2f30b7ff.
Solution: move it from DRAFT to STABLE since it's been in a public
release, committed for 6+ months and has not changed.
Given a new STABLE symbol has been added, bump minor version number.
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.
Fixes#2762
group being a `char *` is logically a text type, which needs an encoding.
Declare in the API that groups shall be UTF8-encoded,
matching the `zmq_msg_gets` API, which is the other user-facing `char *` API,
which has the same definition.
This allows bindings to provide text-type APIs,
which they cannot do if arbitrary bytes are allowed
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.
Solution:
* Document the new behaviour when generating 'ZMQ_POLLOUT' events
for ZMQ_ROUTER sockets with 'ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY' set to `1`
* Add clarifications for 'ZMQ_ROUTER' socket when
'ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY' is set to `1`
Problem: GSSAPI NAMETYPE options were not documented in man
pages for zmq_getsockopt() and zmq_setsockopt().
Solution: add new options to these manual pages.
Problem: the ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL socket option is described
as mandatory in the zmq_gssapi(7) manual page. In fact it
is optional.
Solution: Describe ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL as optional.
If unspecified, default credentials are used.
Solution: add a note pointing out that when new events are added the
ZMQ_EVENT_ALL mask will start returning them, so applications that
can't handle that transparently should not use it and instead pick
only the event types they want.
Creating a new event type and having monitors with ZMQ_EVENT_ALL
return them will not be considered a backward incompatible change
even though the flow of events will change.
Solution: fix it.
The documentation first states that the ZMQ_SNDMORE flag is ignored on
data frames. Then it states that omitting the ZMQ_SNDMORE flag has
consequences. The example HTTP server code further muddies the situation
with a similar comment.
The implementation of ZMQ_STREAM only accepts two-part messages.
The first part is an identity frame while the second and last part is
the data frame.
As with any multipart message, all parts except the last need the
ZMQ_SNDMORE flag. The second and last part would normally omit the
ZMQ_SNDMORE flag to mark the end of the multipart message.
However, the ZMQ_STREAM implementation ignores the ZMQ_SNDMORE flag on
the data frame rather than requiring that it be omitted. The latter
behaviour would have been more consistent with the other ZeroMQ
sockets.
Solution:
- Update formatting and remove redundant parts from ZMQ_PROBE_ROUTER,
ZMQ_USE_FD, ZMQ_TCP_MAXRT, ZMQ_TCP_TOS
- Only cosmetic changes to the content
- These changes already merged on api.zeromq.org by me
Problem: when using ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED + ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE and two 'send' are
executed in a row and no server is available at the time of the sends,
then the internal request_id used to identify messages gets corrupted and
the two messages end up with the same request_id. The correlation no
longer works in that case and you may end up with the wrong message.
Solution: make a copy of the request_id instance member before sending it
down the pipe.
Solution: add the document files to the MAN_DOC and MAN_HTML targets
in doc/Makefile.am only if BUILD_DOC and INSTALL_MAN are set,
otherwise leave the targets empty to avoid errors in make distcheck.
And I'm on a reasonably sized laptop. I think allocating INT_MAX
memory is dangerous in a test case.
Solution: expose this as a context option. I've used ZMQ_MAX_MSGSZ
and documented it and implemented the API. However I don't know how
to get the parent context for a socket, so the code in zmq.cpp is
still unfinished.
These options are confusing and redundant. Their names suggest
they apply to the tcp:// transport, yet they are used for all
stream protocols. The methods zmq::set_tcp_receive_buffer and
zmq::set_tcp_send_buffer don't use these values at all, they use
ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
Solution: merge these new options into ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
This means defaulting these two options to 8192, and removing the
new options. We now have ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF being used both
for TCP socket control, and for input/output buffering.
Note: the default for SNDBUF and RCVBUF are otherwise 4096.
This option has a few issues. The name is long and clumsy. The
functonality is not smooth: one must set both this and
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE at the same time, or things will break mysteriously.
Solution: rename to ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSER and make an atomic option.
That is, implicitly does ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE.
Solution: be more explicit in the code, and in the zmq_recv man
page (which is the most unobvious case). Assert if length is not
zero and buffer is nonetheless null.
Solution: add new [set|get]sockopt ZMQ_PRE_ALLOCATED_FD to allow
users to let ZMQ use a pre-allocated file descriptor instead of
allocating a new one. Update [set|get]sockopt documentation and
test accordingly.
The main use case for this feature is a socket-activated systemd
service. For more information about this feature see:
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activation.html
These sockets don't handle multipart data, so if callers send it,
they drop frames, and things break silently.
Solution: if the caller tries to use ZMQ_SNDMORE, return -1 and
set errno to EINVAL.
VMCI transport allows fast communication between the Host
and a virtual machine, between virtual machines on the same host,
and within a virtual machine (like IPC).
It requires VMware to be installed on the host and Guest Additions
to be installed on a guest.
Without this change, a segmentation fault is likely to occur when using the proposed snippet of code, as `*address[size]` is equivalent to `*(address[size])`, not `(*address)[size]` as clearly intended.
REQ-REP barely work, and DEALER-ROUTER are misnamed. As we move to
formalizing CLIENT-SERVER, we can deprecate request-reply.
Solution: move this section to the end of the man page, and mark as
"will be deprecated".
The order of zmq_bind() and zmq_connect() is no longer important
for the inproc transport since libzmq 4.0. This updates this
in the zmq_inproc manpage.
Fixes not receiving unsubscription messages in XPUB socket with
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE and using a XSUB-XPUB proxy in front.
This adds two modifications:
- It adds a new flag, ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE_UNSUBSCRIBE, to enable verbose
unsubscription messages, necessary when using a XSUB/XPUB proxy.
- It adds a boolean switch to zmq::mtrie_t::rm () to control if the
callback is invoked every time or only in the last removal. Necessary
when a pipe is terminated and the verbose mode for unsubscriptions is
enabled.
Set the ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT to default to the value of
ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL if it's not explicitly set.
Change the units of ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TTL to milliseconds in the API
and round down to the nearest decisecond so that all the options
are using the same units.
Make the maximum heartbeat TTL match the spec (6553 seconds)
Pull request #1426 now allow for changing the watermark
after and connect() or a bind(). This patch reflect the
change in the documentation.
Also closes#1416.
zmq_term and zmq_ctx_destroy are just aliases for zmq_ctx_term. that
being the case use 'terminate' in the description for all three so there
isn't any confusion about behavior.
also update the deprecates list in zmq_ctx_term to include
zmq_ctx_destroy.
ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING reverses the PUB/SUB prefix matching. The subscription
list becomes a rejection list. The PUB socket sends messages to all
connected (X)SUB sockets that do not have any matching subscription.
Whenever the option is used on a PUB/XPUB socket, any connecting SUB
sockets must also set it or they will reject everything the publisher
sends them. XSUB sockets are unaffected because they do not filter out
incoming messages.
Symptom is that ZMQ_STREAM sockets in 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 generate zero
sized messages on each new connection, unlike 4.0.x which did not do
this.
Person who made this commit also changed test cases so that contract
breakage did not show. Same person was later banned for persistently
poor form in CZMQ contributions.
Solution: enable connect notifications on ZMQ_STREAM sockets using a
new ZMQ_STREAM_NOTIFY setting. By default, socket does not deliver
notifications, and behaves as in 4.0.x.
Fixes#1316
