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
This patch is proposed for https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/issues/912. If a user specifies that they want libzmq built with libsodium, and the requirement cannot be satisfied, we should error at the user so they can either A) install libsodium to a reasonable location or B) relax their requirement for libsodium support.
Previously a warning was issued in this case, causing users who wanted libsodium support not to get it, which may be discovered at a much later time when their programs didn't work as expected.
I release this patch under the LGPL v3 or any later version.
Another take on LIBZMQ-568 to allow filtering IPC connections, this time
using ZAP. This change is backward compatible. If the
ZMQ_ZAP_IPC_CREDS option is set, the user, group, and process IDs of the
peer process are appended to the address (separated by colons) of a ZAP
request; otherwise, nothing changes. See LIBZMQ-568 and zmq_setsockopt
documentation for more information.
Adds sets of process (Linux only), user, and group IDs for filtering
connections from peer processes over IPC transport. If all of the
filter sets are empty, every connection is accepted. Otherwise,
credentials for a connecting process are checked against the filter sets
and the connection is only accepted if a match is found.
This commit is part of LIBZMQ-568 and only adds the filter sets and
implements the filter in the IPC accept method. The interface for
adding IDs to filter sets are included in a separate commit.
IPC accept filtering is supported only on Linux and OS X.
As TIPC transport for 0MQ will only work on post 3.8
Linux kernels where nonblocking connect was added,
we add AC_RUN test to check for this functionality.
Should the test fail, tipc is excluded from build/test.

The use of binary for CURVE keys is painful; you cannot easily copy
these in e.g. email, or use them directly in source code. There are
various encoding possibilities. Base16 and Base64 are not optimal.
Ascii85 is not safe for source (it generates quotes and escapes).
So, I've designed a new Base85 encoding, Z85, which is safe to use
in code and elsewhere, and I've modified libzmq to use this where
it also uses binary keys (in get/setsockopt).
Very simply, if you use a 32-byte value, it's Base256 (binary),
and if you use a 40-byte value, it's Base85 (Z85).
I've put the Z85 codec into z85_codec.hpp, it's not elegant C++
but it is minimal and it works. Feel free to rewrap as a real class
if this annoys you.
./configure --with-system-pgm
detect the OpenPGM 5.2 system library.
Note that OpenPGM installs a versioned pkgconfig file
(openpgm-5.2.pc, openpgm-5.1.pc).
