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);
Solution: change setsockopts on printable keys to expect 41, nor 40
bytes. Code still accepts 40 bytes for compatibility, and copies the
key to a well-terminated string before using it.
Fixes#1148
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.
Since https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/commit/350a1a, TCP addresses
get resolved asynchronously, so zmq_connect no longer returned an
error on incorrect addresses.
This is troublesome since we rely on some error checking to catch
blatant errors.
Solution add some upfront syntax checking that catches at least the
obvious kinds of errors (invalid characters, wrong or missing port
number).
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.
The expect_bounce_fail () helper assumed that messages could always
be sent. However in some cases zmq_send() blocks, due to there not
being any outgoing pipe. This changed in 77f5f7, where previously
there would be a pipe that kept trying to reconnect forever.
Solution: use a send timeout and check for EAGAIN if sending failed.
