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
Increasing it would have at least two benefits -
* More messages would be 'VSM' messages, so it would reduce allocation
overhead a bit.
* Remove any chance of false sharing of things that are, by design,
pushed by value onto a ypipe_t<msg_t> which is shared between two threads.
The only downside I see is slightly increased memory consumption on memory
constrained applications.
- Full discussion of this rationale is part of issue #1295
Firstly, only a few types are defined, leaving it hard for higher layers
to complete the set. Secondly, the code incorrectly tries to use ifndef
to avoid re-defining typedefs, which does not work in C.
Solution: define all types, unconditionally for all MSVC compilers.
Additionally, define ZMQ_DEFINED_STDINT that tells higher layers that we
already defined these integer types.
zmq_atomic_counter_dec returned a 'bool' value, yet this isn't
defined by standard, so causes compile errors in upstream code.
Solution: return an int that can be safely converted to bool if
needed by bindings.
Solution: as libzmq already provides this across all platforms,
expose an atomic counter API. I've not wrapped atomic pointers,
though someone who needs this may want to do so.
E.g. when server is not configured, and client tries PLAIN security,
there is no hint of why this does not work.
Solution: add debugging output for this case. Note that the various
debugging outputs for security failures should probably be sent to
an inproc monitor of some kind.
auth mechanisms were only enabled when ZMTP handshake
is latest version, meaning that connections from old sockets
would skip authentication altogether
Solution: set defaults back to infinity, and add new context
option, ZMQ_BLOCKY that the user can set to false to get a
less surprising behavior on context termination. Eg.
zmq_ctx_set (ctx, ZMQ_BLOCKY, false);
