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.
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:

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?
