Solution: document this with a clear warning. It would be
nicer perhaps to change the default LINGER to e.g. a few
seconds. However this could break existing applications.
This commit adds a ZMQ_POLLPRI flag that maps to poll()'s POLLPRI
flag.
This flags does nothing for OMQ sockets. It's only useful for raw
file descriptor (be it socket or file).
This flag does nothing if poll() is not the underlying polling
function. So it is Linux only.
Solution: document the limit of 113 chars including ipc://. We might
fix this in libzmq by shortening an over-long IPC pathname into a
unique string; so long as this is done consistently in bind and in
connect, it will save applications from weird failures when they
use external data to generate IPC pathnames.
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
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.
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.
Added modifiers reflect the following properties:
- zmq_msg_gets () does not mutate property parameter
- zmq_msg_gets () returns a pointer to memory the caller should not
modify
Specifically:
* zmq_event_t should not be used internally in libzmq, it was
meant to be an outward facing structure.
* In 4.x, zmq_event_t does not correspond to monitor events, so
I removed the structure entirely.
* man page for zmq_socket_monitor is incomplete and the example
code was particularly nasty.
* test_monitor.cpp needed rewriting, it was not clean.
Issues adressed:
- The actual data was never read from the socket, causing all even
numbered loop iterations to fail
- The socket variable was called server once
