Of course people still "can" distributed the sources under the
LGPLv3. However we provide COPYING.LESSER with additional grants.
Solution: specify these grants in the header of each source file.
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
Increasing it would have at least two benefits -
* More messages would be 'VSM' messages, so it would reduce allocation
overhead a bit.
* Remove any chance of false sharing of things that are, by design,
pushed by value onto a ypipe_t<msg_t> which is shared between two threads.
The only downside I see is slightly increased memory consumption on memory
constrained applications.
- Full discussion of this rationale is part of issue #1295
Firstly, only a few types are defined, leaving it hard for higher layers
to complete the set. Secondly, the code incorrectly tries to use ifndef
to avoid re-defining typedefs, which does not work in C.
Solution: define all types, unconditionally for all MSVC compilers.
Additionally, define ZMQ_DEFINED_STDINT that tells higher layers that we
already defined these integer types.
zmq_atomic_counter_dec returned a 'bool' value, yet this isn't
defined by standard, so causes compile errors in upstream code.
Solution: return an int that can be safely converted to bool if
needed by bindings.
Solution: as libzmq already provides this across all platforms,
expose an atomic counter API. I've not wrapped atomic pointers,
though someone who needs this may want to do so.
Solution: set defaults back to infinity, and add new context
option, ZMQ_BLOCKY that the user can set to false to get a
less surprising behavior on context termination. Eg.
zmq_ctx_set (ctx, ZMQ_BLOCKY, false);
This commit adds a ZMQ_POLLPRI flag that maps to poll()'s POLLPRI
flag.
This flags does nothing for OMQ sockets. It's only useful for raw
file descriptor (be it socket or file).
This flag does nothing if poll() is not the underlying polling
function. So it is Linux only.
Users who need e.g. zmq_curve_keypair() have to remember to include
zmq_utils.h, which is counter-intuitive. The whole library should be
represented by a single include file.
Solution: merge all contents of zmq_utils.h into zmq.h, and deprecate
zmq_utils.h. Existing apps can continue unchanged. New apps can ignore
zmq_utils.h completely.
This is still raw and experimental.
To connect through a SOCKS proxy, set ZMQ_SOCKS_PROXY socket option on
socket before issuing a connect call, e.g.:
zmq_setsockopt (s, ZMQ_SOCKS_PROXY,
"127.0.0.1:22222", strlen ("127.0.0.1:22222"));
zmq_connect (s, "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555");
Known limitations:
- only SOCKS version 5 supported
- authentication not supported
- new option is still undocumented
As libzmq is compiled with optional transports and security mechanisms,
there is no clean way for applications to determine what capabilities
are actually available in a given libzmq instance.
Solution: provide an API specifically for capability reporting. The
zmq_has () method is meant to be open ended. It accepts a string so
that we can add arbitrary capabilities without breaking existing
applications.
zmq.h also defines ZMQ_HAS_CAPABILITIES when this method is provided.
Added modifiers reflect the following properties:
- zmq_msg_gets () does not mutate property parameter
- zmq_msg_gets () returns a pointer to memory the caller should not
modify
Specifically:
* zmq_event_t should not be used internally in libzmq, it was
meant to be an outward facing structure.
* In 4.x, zmq_event_t does not correspond to monitor events, so
I removed the structure entirely.
* man page for zmq_socket_monitor is incomplete and the example
code was particularly nasty.
* test_monitor.cpp needed rewriting, it was not clean.
