Problem: Since pull request #1730 was merged, protocol for REQ socket is
checked at the session level and this check does not take into account
the possibility of a request_id being part of the message. Thus the option
ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE would no longer work.
This is now fixed: the possiblity of a 4 bytes integer being present
before the delimiter frame is taken into account (whether or not this
breaks the REQ/REP RFC is another issue).
Solution: do not run test_fork if --enable-valgrind is set. Note that
later versions of Valgrind (3.11) not yet available in all
distributions fix this problem, so we might revert in the future.
Solution: update builds/valgrind/valgrind.supp to ignore glibc's
__libc_freeres calls. This code runs after the program exits, and
tries to de-allocate memory allocated internally by glibc, so it has
nothing to do with libzmq code. This suppression is added by default
in newer versions of Valgrind, not yet available on older
distributions.
Solution: import ax_valgrind_check.m4 macro file to provide a
conveniente automake hook to run Valgrind on all tests.
Add --enable-valgrind to ./configure call and then run make
check-valgrind to run memcheck, helgrind, drd and sgcheck on all
tests. Run check-valgrind-memcheck to run only memcheck.
Solution: remove temporarily until proper message limits have been
implemented, then a more granular test case can be added without
such high requirements which are problematic in embedded environment,
build systems, VMs and CI systems
Solution: import ax_code_coverage.m4 from autoconf-archive and use it
in configure.ac and Makefile.am in order to provide a make
check-code-coverage target behind a --enable-code-coverage configure
flag, that can be used to generate a gcov/lcov code coverage report.
Depends on having gcov and lcov installed.
I'm adding gyp support so that we can easily pull in libzmq
and other C/C++ projects into gyp packages, especially via
node-gyp.
Solution: add gyp definition
This works only for Windows, OS/X, and Linux. We set a single
macro in project.gyp according to the system, and the rest is
done in builds/gyp/platform.hpp. The values in that file are
not dynamic. Your mileage will vary.
- they have no copyright / license statement
- they are in some randomish directory structure
- they are a mix of postable and non-portable files
- they do not conform to conditional compile environment
Overall, it makes it rather more work than needed, in build scripts.
Solution: clean up tweetnacl sauce.
- merged code into single tweetnacl.c and .h
- standard copyright header, DJB to AUTHORS
- moved into src/ along with all other source files
- all system and conditional compilation hidden in these files
- thus, they can be compiled and packaged in all cases
- ZMQ_USE_TWEETNACL is set when we're using built-in tweetnacl
- HAVE_LIBSODIUM is set when we're using external libsodium
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.
Solution: parse the value set by the ZMQ_PRE_ALLOCATED_FD sockopt
when creating a new TCP socket and use it if valid.
Add new tests/test_pre_allocated_fd_tcp.cpp unit test.
Solution: parse the value set by the ZMQ_PRE_ALLOCATED_FD sockopt
when creating a new IPC socket and use it if valid.
Add new tests/test_pre_allocated_fd_ipc.cpp unit test.
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: specify the necessary EXTRA_DIST
I added a Makefile.am in builds that covers all systems except msvc,
which already has a Makefile.am that does this.
Fixes#1505
A memcpy is eliminated when receiving data on a ZMQ_STREAM socket. Instead
of receiving into a static buffer and then copying the data into the
buffer malloced in msg_t::init_size, the raw_decoder allocates the memory
for together with the reference-counter and creates a msg_t object
on top of that memory. This saves the memcpy operation.
For small messages, data is still copied and the receive buffer is reused.
The shared reference count was not shared but copied. msg_t cannot
store the refcnt itsef but has to store a pointer to an externally
allocated (shared) refcnter. The changes to lmsg are reverted to
use content_t again. Howver, this introduces an allocation in v2_decoder
when creating the message which can be avoided. When allocating the reception
buffer, space is allocated for the maximum number of reference counts
(8192 / max_vsm_size = 8192/64 = 128 zmq:atomic_counter objects). This
increases the buffer by 128*sizeof(atomic_counter) = 128*4 = 512 bytes only.
When creating a message, the refcnt member is set to the address of one of the
pre-allocated atomic_counter_t objects. To do so, a new msg_t type zcmsg
is introduced because msg::copy must discriminate between the message types
when releasing memory.
Problem: zmq_setsockpt() returns success when changing the
HWM after a bind or connect() even though the call has no effect.
Solution: Introduce a failing test a reminder we need to patch it.
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.
The use of binary for CURVE keys is painful; you cannot easily copy
these in e.g. email, or use them directly in source code. There are
various encoding possibilities. Base16 and Base64 are not optimal.
Ascii85 is not safe for source (it generates quotes and escapes).
So, I've designed a new Base85 encoding, Z85, which is safe to use
in code and elsewhere, and I've modified libzmq to use this where
it also uses binary keys (in get/setsockopt).
Very simply, if you use a 32-byte value, it's Base256 (binary),
and if you use a 40-byte value, it's Base85 (Z85).
I've put the Z85 codec into z85_codec.hpp, it's not elegant C++
but it is minimal and it works. Feel free to rewrap as a real class
if this annoys you.

* Added a version.sh and relevant changes to configure.in to extract the API
version from zmq.h at the time autogen.sh is run.
* Moved the version macros to be next to zmq_version in zmq.h and improved
the comments.
* Modified ZMQ_MAKE_VERSION to use (x) instead of plain x when expanding
macro parameters.

Change 'make dist' to generate the Git ChangeLog file, that way it doesn't
have to be manually updated nor kept in Git which causes unnecessary work.
Also change 'make dist' to invoke 'dist-zip' automatically to generate a
ZIP as well as a .tar.gz.
Thanks to http://live.gnome.org/Git/ChangeLog for the inspiration to
automatically generate ChangeLog.
