Solution: mark test_rebind_ipc as XFAIL on Hurd as it does not
implement getsockname on IPC and thus it's impossible to use
wildcard IPC binds.
Document that ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT does not work on Hurd with IPC.
Solution: revert DRAFT -> STABLE API transition so that we can do a
bugfix-only 4.2.5 release.
Will be re-reverted once tagged.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE has met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 3cb79f5042.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_MSG_GSSAPI_* have met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 374da4207b.
Revert "Problem: ZMQ_MSG_T_SIZE has met STABLE conditions"
This reverts commit 6411c4a247.
Revert "Problem: docs say STABLE API still in DRAFT"
This reverts commit 9f2f30b7ff.
Solution: add ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN to hide backward incompatible
change and make it disabled by default.
In a future release that breaks API compatibility we can then switch
the default to enabled in order to achieve full RFC compatibility.
Fixes#2762
Linux now supports Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) as per:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
In order for an application to bind or connect to a socket with an
address in a VRF, they need to first bind the socket to the VRF device:
setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1);
Note "dev" is the VRF device, eg. VRF "blue", rather than an interface
enslaved to the VRF.
Add a new socket option, ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE, to bind a socket to a device.
In general, if a socket is bound to a device, eg. an interface, only
packets received from that particular device are processed by the socket.
If device is a VRF device, then subsequent binds/connects to that socket
use addresses in the VRF routing table.
Problem: GSSAPI NAMETYPE options were not documented in man
pages for zmq_getsockopt() and zmq_setsockopt().
Solution: add new options to these manual pages.
These options are confusing and redundant. Their names suggest
they apply to the tcp:// transport, yet they are used for all
stream protocols. The methods zmq::set_tcp_receive_buffer and
zmq::set_tcp_send_buffer don't use these values at all, they use
ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
Solution: merge these new options into ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
This means defaulting these two options to 8192, and removing the
new options. We now have ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF being used both
for TCP socket control, and for input/output buffering.
Note: the default for SNDBUF and RCVBUF are otherwise 4096.
Solution: add new [set|get]sockopt ZMQ_PRE_ALLOCATED_FD to allow
users to let ZMQ use a pre-allocated file descriptor instead of
allocating a new one. Update [set|get]sockopt documentation and
test accordingly.
The main use case for this feature is a socket-activated systemd
service. For more information about this feature see:

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.
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.
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
- This seems redundant; is there a use case for NOT providing
the IPC credentials to the ZAP authenticator?
- More, why is IPC authentication done via libzmq instead of ZAP?
Is it because we're missing the transport type on the ZAP request?
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.
