Problem: Since pull request #1730 was merged, protocol for REQ socket is
checked at the session level and this check does not take into account
the possibility of a request_id being part of the message. Thus the option
ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE would no longer work.
This is now fixed: the possiblity of a 4 bytes integer being present
before the delimiter frame is taken into account (whether or not this
breaks the REQ/REP RFC is another issue).
A Visual Studio build from master (commit id: dac5b45dfb224ff184a7aed39c5859ae5bac3803) using the v140_xp toolset yields a binary that is not XP compatible.
Two libraries contain exports that cannot be found:
- IPHLPAPI.DLL : if_nametoindex
- KERNEL32.DLL : InitializeConditionVariable
The latter export is already dealt with in the file './src/condition_variable.hpp'; however this requires setting the _WIN32_WINNT pre-processor definition.
I am not experienced enough to figure a work around for the 'if_nametoindex' method, so I have created a new pre-processor definition 'ZMQ_HAVE_WINDOWS_TARGET_XP' and removed the calling of the function with the limitation that these builds cannot handle a IPv6 address with an adapter name.
To make it easier for people targeting XP with an MSVC build I have modified the MSBuild property file to add/modify the pre-processor definitions if they are building using a XP targeting tool set; such as v140_xp.
libsodium calls abort() when /dev/urandom can't be found
even if one creates ZeroMQ context before calling chroot()[1].
This happens because crypto gets initialized on handshake,
and at that moment the process is already chroot'ed.
Solution: initialize cryptographic libraries in ctx
randombytes_close() is already there in the destructor.

Problem: when using ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED + ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE and two 'send' are
executed in a row and no server is available at the time of the sends,
then the internal request_id used to identify messages gets corrupted and
the two messages end up with the same request_id. The correlation no
longer works in that case and you may end up with the wrong message.
Solution: make a copy of the request_id instance member before sending it
down the pipe.
Solution: socket_base_t::in_event cannot do anything useful with
return status of process_commands. Asserting is the wrong solution,
as it is entirely valid to be interrupted or for the context to be
terminated, so discard the value.
Solution: remove statc initialization to NULL of thread.hpp pthread_t
descriptor. There is no portable way to statically initialize a
pthread_t variable.
Solution: The Coverity Static Code Analyzer was used on libzmq code and found
many issues with uninitialized member variables, some redefinition of variables
hidding previous instances of same variable name and a couple of functions
where return values were not checked, even though all other occurrences were
checked (e.g. init_size() return).
Solution: Corrected Toolset setting where needed and inprove compilation speed
by adding defintion of WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN prior to any Windows specific
include files, which skips non-essential definitions during compilation.
Solution: disable the warnings on this file only
We use pragmas wrapped in compiler conditionals. This will need
extending to non-gcc/msvc compilers. We could also fix the warnings
in the code, though I suspect it's not really possible.
libzmq used to switch off pedantic checks when using tweetnacl. As
this is now the default, that means pedantic checks are always off.
This is not good.
Solution: in tweetnacl.c alone, use a GCC pragma to disable sign
comparison warnings. We could also clean the code up yet this is
simpler. In other code, we still want those warnings, hence I've
used a pragma rather than global compile option.
Second, use -Wno-long-long all the time, as this warning does not
work with a pragma.
I removed code that set -wno-long-long, for MinGW and Solaris.
Related problem 2: --with-relaxed is badly named
This option switches off pedantic checks, so should be called
--disable-pedantic. 'with' is for optional packages.
Solution: always initialised zmq::options_t class variables arrays to
avoid reading uninitialised data when CURVE is not yet configured and
a getsockopt ZMQ_CURVE_{SERVER | PUBLIC | SECRET]KEY is issued.
It's all over the place.
Solution: remove duplicates and try to move main includes to start
of source. Also, include net/if.h always, so that the code will
compile if ZMQ_HAVE_IFADDRS isn't defined.
- they have no copyright / license statement
- they are in some randomish directory structure
- they are a mix of postable and non-portable files
- they do not conform to conditional compile environment
Overall, it makes it rather more work than needed, in build scripts.
Solution: clean up tweetnacl sauce.
- merged code into single tweetnacl.c and .h
- standard copyright header, DJB to AUTHORS
- moved into src/ along with all other source files
- all system and conditional compilation hidden in these files
- thus, they can be compiled and packaged in all cases
- ZMQ_USE_TWEETNACL is set when we're using built-in tweetnacl
- HAVE_LIBSODIUM is set when we're using external libsodium
