Return value is the number of events found. This also propagates to the return value of zmq_poller_wait_all.
zmq_poller_wait was only returning events on the first-registered socket.
instead of allocating a new, identical array and copying the data.
This is only safe while zmq_poller_event_t and zmq::socket_poller_t::event_t are the same struct,
which they presumably will remain.
Solution: zmq_poller_wait_all signals all events
allows signaling multiple events with one call to zmq_poller_wait_all
rather than emitting only one event.
this prepares for zmq_poll being based on zmq_poller,
which requires events for all sockets rather than just one.
Solution: Provide poll() for Windows as well. This is a build option that
defaults to off as the resulting binary will only run on Windows Vista or
newer.
This is not tested with alternative Winsock service providers like VMCI,
but the documentation for WSAPoll does not mention limitations.
On my local machine, throughput improves by ~10 % (20 simultaneous
remote_thr workes to one local_thr, 10 byte messages), while latency
improves by ~30 % (measured with remote/local_lat).
Solution:
- Add checks for **poller_p_ to ensure that we do not segfault when either it
or the value within it are NULL
- Add tests for the above and increase error state coverage
Solution:
- Add check for the [count] parameter in zmq_sendiov() and zmq_recviov()
- Use and add test for zmq_sendiov() in tests/test_iov.cpp
- Add error state tests for zmq_sendiov() in tests/test_iov.cpp
- Add error state tests for zmq_recviov() in tests/test_iov.cpp
- Cleanup tests/test_iov.cpp for style, consistency and clarity
- Generally improve test coverage for both API methods

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).
It's unclear which we need and in the source code, conditional code
treats tweetnacl as a subclass of libsodium, which is inaccurate.
Solution: redesign the configure/cmake API for this:
* tweetnacl is present by default and cannot be enabled
* libsodium can be enabled using --with-libsodium, which replaces
the built-in tweetnacl
* CURVE encryption can be disabled entirely using --enable-curve=no
The macros we define in platform.hpp are:
ZMQ_HAVE_CURVE 1 // When CURVE is enabled
HAVE_LIBSODIUM 1 // When we are using libsodium
HAVE_TWEETNACL 1 // When we're using tweetnacl (default)
As of this patch, the default build of libzmq always has CURVE
security, and always uses tweetnacl.
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.
Solution: be more explicit in the code, and in the zmq_recv man
page (which is the most unobvious case). Assert if length is not
zero and buffer is nonetheless null.
These sockets don't handle multipart data, so if callers send it,
they drop frames, and things break silently.
Solution: if the caller tries to use ZMQ_SNDMORE, return -1 and
set errno to EINVAL.
If we're going to add CLASS-like APIs we should use the proper
syntax; specifically 'destroy' instead of 'close', which is a
hangover from the 'ZeroMQ is like sockets' model we're slowly
moving away from.
Solution: change zmq_timers_close(p) to zmq_timers_destroy(&p)
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.
