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).
Solution: add macro in ZMQSourceRunChecks.cmake and optionally
include the TIPC sources if the support is available.
More importantly, only run the TIPC tests if the support is there.
A Visual Studio build from master (commit id: dac5b45dfb) using the v140_xp toolset yields a binary that is not XP compatible.
Two libraries contain exports that cannot be found:
- IPHLPAPI.DLL : if_nametoindex
- KERNEL32.DLL : InitializeConditionVariable
The latter export is already dealt with in the file './src/condition_variable.hpp'; however this requires setting the _WIN32_WINNT pre-processor definition.
I am not experienced enough to figure a work around for the 'if_nametoindex' method, so I have created a new pre-processor definition 'ZMQ_HAVE_WINDOWS_TARGET_XP' and removed the calling of the function with the limitation that these builds cannot handle a IPv6 address with an adapter name.
To make it easier for people targeting XP with an MSVC build I have modified the MSBuild property file to add/modify the pre-processor definitions if they are building using a XP targeting tool set; such as v140_xp.
* Added a new .gitignore file for excluding Visual Studio build output any popular plug-in generated content. (This was copied from the GitHub project https://github.com/github/gitignore).
* Removed the basic ignore settings from the root folder in favour of more precision within the subfolder's .gitignore file
* Added the new VC compiler's experimental Intellisense database file
All the older (vs2010 -> vs2013) projects had copies of the Visual Studio 2015 MSBuild applied to them when running the 'configure.bat' batch file. Any modifications to a property sheet was not applied to the other Visual Studio versions' projects unless the batch file was re-executed.
* Modified the older projects to reference the Visual Studio 2015 property sheets so changes are immediately applied
* Removed the batch file copy steps (which left the repository very dirty after execution)
Solution: update builds/valgrind/valgrind.supp to ignore glibc's
__libc_freeres calls. This code runs after the program exits, and
tries to de-allocate memory allocated internally by glibc, so it has
nothing to do with libzmq code. This suppression is added by default
in newer versions of Valgrind, not yet available on older
distributions.
Solution: remove temporarily until proper message limits have been
implemented, then a more granular test case can be added without
such high requirements which are problematic in embedded environment,
build systems, VMs and CI systems
Solution: Modified projects to create PDB file for RELEASE targets
- also spread precompiled settings to all DevStudio solution versions
This change affects Windows builds only
