There were numerous small issues with test cases:
- some lacked the right source file header
- some were not portable at all
- some were using internal libzmq APIs (headers)
Solution: fixed and cleaned up.

Solution: fixed and cleaned up.
Solution: it's a lot of work to define the tests in project.gyp
so I did this using gsl to generate the JSON, from a small XML
list of the test cases.
To keep this, and the hundreds of .mk files, away from the root
directory, I've moved the gyp files into builds/gyp, where you
would run them.
It all seems to work now. Next up, OS/X and Windows :)
It's all over the place.
Solution: remove duplicates and try to move main includes to start
of source. Also, include net/if.h always, so that the code will
compile if ZMQ_HAVE_IFADDRS isn't defined.
This is rather insane since the code knows well enough what systems
support if_nametoindex. I blame this on over-use of autotools early
in libzmq's days.
Anyhow, this breaks gyp builds on OS/X.
Solution: add ZMQ_HAVE_IFADDRS to build/gyp/platform.hpp for OS/X.
Solution: establish a matrix of CI options. On one axis we have the
build system (autotools, cmake, android) and on the other axis we
have the encryption options (tweetnacl, libsodium or none).
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 especially annoying to see this:
--enable-perf Build performance measurement tools [default=yes].
--disable-eventfd disable eventfd [default=no]
--enable-curve-keygen Build curve key-generation tool [default=yes].
Solution: all options should explain the non-default case. Also
the language should be enable/disable, with/without, rather than
yes/no. E.g. '--without-docs'.
Specifically, the poller detection code does not set macros in
platform.hpp. The configure script passed them as -D on the command
line.
Solution: rewrite the poller detection code.
This happens if you first configure with autotools, and then run
cmake. The problem is that the compiler finds the old src/platform.hpp
before looking for the one generated by CMake. Further, there are a
set of macros that configure passes via the command line, yet CMake
passes via platform.hpp. (HAVE_xxx for pollers, at least.) This means
you can't do a CMake build using the autotools platform.hpp.
Solution: remove any src/platform.hpp when running cmake. This is a
workaround. I'll fix the inconsistent macros separately.
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.
These options are confusing and redundant. Their names suggest
they apply to the tcp:// transport, yet they are used for all
stream protocols. The methods zmq::set_tcp_receive_buffer and
zmq::set_tcp_send_buffer don't use these values at all, they use
ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
Solution: merge these new options into ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF.
This means defaulting these two options to 8192, and removing the
new options. We now have ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF being used both
for TCP socket control, and for input/output buffering.
Note: the default for SNDBUF and RCVBUF are otherwise 4096.
This option has a few issues. The name is long and clumsy. The
functonality is not smooth: one must set both this and
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE at the same time, or things will break mysteriously.
Solution: rename to ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSER and make an atomic option.
That is, implicitly does ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE.
