The zero copy decoding strategy implemented for 4.2.0 can lead to a large
increase of main memory usage in some cases (I have seen one program go up to
40G from 10G after upgrading from 4.1.4). This commit adds a new option to
contexts, called ZMQ_ZERO_COPY_RECV, which allows one to switch to the old
decoding strategy.
* Background thread scheduling
- add ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY ctx option; set all thread scheduling options
from the context of the secondary thread instead of using the main
process thread context!
- change ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY to support setting NICE of the background
thread when using SCHED_OTHER
Solution: add a crypto [de-]initialiser, refcounted and serialised
through critical sections.
This is necessary as utility APIs such as zmq_curve_keypair also
call into the sodium/tweetnacl libraries and need the initialisation
outside of the zmq context.
Also the libsodium documentation explicitly says that sodium_init
must not be called concurrently from multiple threads, which could
have happened until now. Also the randombytes_close function does
not appear to be thread safe either.
This change guarantees that the library is initialised only once at
any given time across the whole program.
Fixes#2632
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.

And I'm on a reasonably sized laptop. I think allocating INT_MAX
memory is dangerous in a test case.
Solution: expose this as a context option. I've used ZMQ_MAX_MSGSZ
and documented it and implemented the API. However I don't know how
to get the parent context for a socket, so the code in zmq.cpp is
still unfinished.
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.
Of course people still "can" distributed the sources under the
LGPLv3. However we provide COPYING.LESSER with additional grants.
Solution: specify these grants in the header of each source file.
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);
Copyrights had become ads for Sustrik's corporate sponsors, going against the original
agreement to share copyrights with the community (that agreement was: one line stating
iMatix copyright + one reference to AUTHORS file). The proliferation of corporate ads
is also unfair to the many individual authors. I've removed ALL corporate title from
the source files so the copyright statements can now be centralized in AUTHORS and
source files can be properly updated on an annual basis.
There are three versions of monitor_event(), all taking
variadic arguments. The original code just has the first one
creating a va_list and passing that va_list variadically to
the second one... which creates a new va_list and passes it
variadically to the third one... and of course everything
blows up when we try to pull a non-va_list argument off the
stack.
The correct approach matches the C standard library's use
of printf/vprintf, scanf/vscanf, and so on. Once you make
a va_list, you must pass it only to functions which expect
a va_list parameter.
* Implemented new ctx API (_new, _destroy, _get, _set)
* Removed 'typesafe' macros from zmq.h
* Added support for MAX_SOCKETS (was tied into change for #337)
* Created new man pages
We use a distinct context initialisation function to specify
all sockets derived therefrom will be thread safe.
However the inheritance is done exclusively in the C interface.
This is not really correct, but it is chosen to minimise
interference with the existing C++ code, including any
construct or other calls within the C++ code base.
Semantically the C++ code should be unchanged,
physically some data structures and extra methods are
provided by they're only used from the C binding.
Older versions of gcc have problems with in-line forward declarations
when there's a naming conflict with a global symbol.
