zmq_ppoll mostly mimics zmq_poll behavior, except for the added feature of being able to specify a signal mask. Signals in this mask will be blocked during execution of zmq_ppoll. Switching of the process' active signal mask happens atomically with the actual poll call, so that no race conditions can occur. This behavior is useful when one wants to gracefully handle POSIX signals without race conditions. See e.g. the discussion below https://250bpm.com/blog:12/ for an explanation.
Also includes two new tests:
1. test_zmq_ppoll_fd does the same thing as test_zmq_poll_fd, demonstrating backwards compatibility with zmq_poll when used with a default signal mask.
2. test_zmq_ppoll_signals demonstrates the use of zmq_ppoll with a signal mask, blocking out SIGTERM everywhere except in zmq_ppoll, allowing to handle the signal in one place without having to worry about race conditions.
Solution: a new socket type, called PEER. Very similar to SERVER, but can only connect to other PEERs. Also a new zmq_connect_peer method, that connect and return a routing-id in thread-safe and atomic operation
Solution: add the document files to the MAN_DOC and MAN_HTML targets
in doc/Makefile.am only if BUILD_DOC and INSTALL_MAN are set,
otherwise leave the targets empty to avoid errors in make distcheck.
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.
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.
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.
* Removed redundant Z85 code and include files from project
* Simplified use of headers in test cases (now they all just use testutil.hpp)
* Export zmq_z85_encode() and zmq_z85_decode() in API
* Added man pages for these two functions
* ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER, ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME, ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD options
* Man page changes to zmq_setsockopt and zmq_getsockopt
* Man pages for ZMQ_NULL, ZMQ_PLAIN, and ZMQ_CURVE
* Test program test_security
* 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
- reverted commit 941be8d2175332cb720f390f93d07a0870db8824.
- fixed zmq_device implementation for latest socket_base class
- added back zmq_device.3 man page
The new function allows to retrieve options (flags)
from zmq_msg_t.
