* Problem: No direct support for setting socket priority
Solution: Add ZMQ_PRIORITY socket option, which sets the
SO_PRIORITY socket option on the underlying socket. This
socket option is not supported under Windows. Check option
and set socket option on creation of underlying socket.
Solution: clearly advise users to avoid them in all cases to
avoid unforseen problems.
Also fix markdown syntax, applicable transport types and getter description.
Solution: add space between OR'ed values
zmq_getsockopt.3 2472: warning [p 17, 9.5i, div '3tbd1,1', 0.5i]: can't break line
zmq_setsockopt.3 3471: warning [p 24, 1.8i, div '3tbd1,1', 0.5i]: can't break line
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.
