libzmq used to switch off pedantic checks when using tweetnacl. As
this is now the default, that means pedantic checks are always off.
This is not good.
Solution: in tweetnacl.c alone, use a GCC pragma to disable sign
comparison warnings. We could also clean the code up yet this is
simpler. In other code, we still want those warnings, hence I've
used a pragma rather than global compile option.
Second, use -Wno-long-long all the time, as this warning does not
work with a pragma.
I removed code that set -wno-long-long, for MinGW and Solaris.
Related problem 2: --with-relaxed is badly named
This option switches off pedantic checks, so should be called
--disable-pedantic. 'with' is for optional packages.
- they have no copyright / license statement
- they are in some randomish directory structure
- they are a mix of postable and non-portable files
- they do not conform to conditional compile environment
Overall, it makes it rather more work than needed, in build scripts.
Solution: clean up tweetnacl sauce.
- merged code into single tweetnacl.c and .h
- standard copyright header, DJB to AUTHORS
- moved into src/ along with all other source files
- all system and conditional compilation hidden in these files
- thus, they can be compiled and packaged in all cases
- ZMQ_USE_TWEETNACL is set when we're using built-in tweetnacl
- HAVE_LIBSODIUM is set when we're using external libsodium
It's especially annoying to see this:
--enable-perf Build performance measurement tools [default=yes].
--disable-eventfd disable eventfd [default=no]
--enable-curve-keygen Build curve key-generation tool [default=yes].
Solution: all options should explain the non-default case. Also
the language should be enable/disable, with/without, rather than
yes/no. E.g. '--without-docs'.
Specifically, the poller detection code does not set macros in
platform.hpp. The configure script passed them as -D on the command
line.
Solution: rewrite the poller detection code.
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.
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.
Solution: specify the necessary EXTRA_DIST
I added a Makefile.am in builds that covers all systems except msvc,
which already has a Makefile.am that does this.
Fixes#1505
Sets FD_SETSIZE to 1024 under mingw systems, increasing it from the default of 64, and brings it into line with the previous limit for CMake builds on mingw.
The example is applications passing invalid arguments to a socket option
and then failing to check the return code. The results can be very hard
to diagnose. Here are some threads that show the pain this causes:
* https://github.com/zeromq/zyre/issues/179
* http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2014-June/026388.html
One common argument is that a library should never assert, and should
pass errors back to the calling application. The counter argument is
that when an application is broken enough to pass garbage to libzmq,
it cannot be trusted to handle the resulting errors properly. Empirical
evidence from CZMQ, where we systematically assert on bad arguments, is
that this militant approach makes applications more, not less, robust.
I don't see any valid use cases for returning errors on bad arguments,
with one exception: zmq_setsockopt can be used to probe whether libzmq
was e.g. built with CURVE security. I'd argue that it's nasty to use a
side effect like this. If apps need to probe how libzmq was built, this
should be done explicitly, and for ALL build options, not just CURVE.
There are/were no libzmq test cases that check the return code for an
invalid option.
For now I've enabled militant assertions using --with-militant at
configure time. However I'd like to make this the default setting.
fork() support is optional and its availability is correctly detected at
contfigure time.
But test_fork was all always built, preventing build for targets that do
not provide fork() from building successfully.
This pacth fixes the autotools on this point.

The ABI in fact changed in two significant ways, one with inproc
connects, and one with socket monitoring
Solution: generate libzmq.so.4.0.0 library instead.
This change should be backported to zeromq-4.x
