Sockets may now be migrated between OS threads; sockets may not be used by
more than one thread at any time. To migrate a socket to another thread the
caller must ensure that a full memory barrier is called before using the
socket from the target thread.
The new zmq_close() semantics implement the behaviour discussed at:
http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2010-July/004244.html
Specifically, zmq_close() is now deterministic and while it still returns
immediately, it does not discard any data that may still be queued for
sending. Further, zmq_term() will now block until all outstanding data has
been sent.
TODO: Many bugs have been introduced, needs testing. Further, SO_LINGER or
an equivalent mechanism (possibly a configurable timeout to zmq_term())
needs to be implemented.
This commit introduces the necessary changes necessary
for implementing flow control. None of the socket types
implements the flow control yet. The code will crash when
the flow control is enabled and the thw lwm is reached.
The following commits will add flow-control support for
individual socket types.
