This option has a few issues. The name is long and clumsy. The
functonality is not smooth: one must set both this and
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE at the same time, or things will break mysteriously.
Solution: rename to ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSER and make an atomic option.
That is, implicitly does ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE.
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:
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activation.html
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.
Fixes not receiving unsubscription messages in XPUB socket with
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE and using a XSUB-XPUB proxy in front.
This adds two modifications:
- It adds a new flag, ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE_UNSUBSCRIBE, to enable verbose
unsubscription messages, necessary when using a XSUB/XPUB proxy.
- It adds a boolean switch to zmq::mtrie_t::rm () to control if the
callback is invoked every time or only in the last removal. Necessary
when a pipe is terminated and the verbose mode for unsubscriptions is
enabled.
Set the ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT to default to the value of
ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL if it's not explicitly set.
Change the units of ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TTL to milliseconds in the API
and round down to the nearest decisecond so that all the options
are using the same units.
Make the maximum heartbeat TTL match the spec (6553 seconds)
Pull request #1426 now allow for changing the watermark
after and connect() or a bind(). This patch reflect the
change in the documentation.
Also closes#1416.
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.
Symptom is that ZMQ_STREAM sockets in 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 generate zero
sized messages on each new connection, unlike 4.0.x which did not do
this.
Person who made this commit also changed test cases so that contract
breakage did not show. Same person was later banned for persistently
poor form in CZMQ contributions.
Solution: enable connect notifications on ZMQ_STREAM sockets using a
new ZMQ_STREAM_NOTIFY setting. By default, socket does not deliver
notifications, and behaves as in 4.0.x.
Fixes#1316
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
Applications that use ZMQ_IDENTITY can be trapped by the artificial
restriction on not using a binary zero as first byte. It's specially
nasty on random generated identities, e.g. UUIDs, as the chance of a
binary zero is low, so it will pass 255 out of 256 times.
Solution: remove the restriction.
- 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.
* ZMQ_REQ_STRICT was negative option (default 1) which goes against
the standard, where defaults are zero. I renamed this to
ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED.
* ZMQ_REQ_REQUEST_IDS felt clumsy and describes the technical solution
rather than the problem/requirement. I changed to ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE
which seems more explicit.
* This is passed to the ZAP handler in the 'domain' field
* If not set, or empty, then NULL security does not call the ZAP handler
* This resolves the phantom ZAP request syndrome seen with sockets where
security was never intended (e.g. in test cases)
* This means if you install a ZAP handler, it will not get any requests
for new connections until you take some explicit action, which can be
setting a username/password for PLAIN, a key for CURVE, or the domain
for NULL.
This allows making a new request on a REQ socket by sending a new
message. Without the option set, calling send() after the first message
is done will continue to return an EFSM error.
It's useful for when a REQ is not getting a response. Previously that
meant creating a new socket or switching to DEALER.
* Documentation:
The default behavior of REQ sockets is to rely on the ordering of messages
to match requests and responses and that is usually sufficient. When this option
is set to 1, the REQ socket will prefix outgoing messages with an extra frame
containing a request id. That means the full message is (request id, 0,
user frames...). The REQ socket will discard all incoming messages that don't
begin with these two frames.
* Behavior change: When a REQ socket gets an invalid reply, it used to
discard the message and return EAGAIN. REQ sockets still discard
invalid messages, but keep looking at the next one automatically
until a good one is found or there are no more messages.
* Add test_req_request_ids.
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.

This patch, salvaged from a trainwreck accidental merge earlier, adds a
new sockopt, ZMQ_DELAY_ATTACH_ON_CONNECT which prevents a end point
being available to push messages to until it has fully connected, making
connect work more like bind. This also applies to reconnecting sockets,
which may cause message loss of in-queue messages, so it is sensible to
use this in conjunction with a low HWM and potentially an alternative
acknowledgement path.
Notes on most of the individual commits can be found the repository log.
This patch adds a sockopt ZMQ_DELAY_ATTACH_ON_CONNECT, which if set to 1 will attempt to preempt this behavior. It does this by extending the use of the session_base to include in the outbound as well as the inbound pipe, and only associates the pipe with the socket once it receives the connected callback via a process_attach message. This works, and a test has been added to show so, but may introduce unexpected complications. The shutdown logic in this class has become marginally more awkward because of this, requiring the session to serve as the sink for both pipes if shutdown occurs with a still-connecting pipe in place. It is also possible there could be issues around flushing the messages, but as I could not directly think how to create such an issue I have not written any code with regards to that.
The documentation has been updated to reflect the change, but please do check over the code and test and review.
