Solution: remove arbitrary timeouts, as they are testing reliable pipes
with no contention, so if it can connect eventually it has to
work. The overall test timeout covers cases where it doesn't.
If tests want to use receive timeouts, they need to handle EAGAIN
properly.
Solution: use ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT in most places. This alllows running
tests in paralle, and on over-booked shared machines where many of
the ports would be already in use.
Keep 3 tests with an hardcoded port, as there are some code paths that
require it (eg: connect before bind), but list those ports in
tests/testutil.hpp as macros so that they do not overlap and still
allow parallel runs.
These changes were inspired by a patch uploaded to Ubuntu by the
package maintainer, Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@ubuntu.com>.
Thank you Steve!
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).
Problem: when using ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED + ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE and two 'send' are
executed in a row and no server is available at the time of the sends,
then the internal request_id used to identify messages gets corrupted and
the two messages end up with the same request_id. The correlation no
longer works in that case and you may end up with the wrong message.
Solution: make a copy of the request_id instance member before sending it
down the pipe.
Solution: use msleep (SETTLE_TIME) everywhere when waiting for the
connections/sockets to be settled instead of a variety of patterns
and functions to make tests more coherent.
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.
- used msleep (10) in most places instead of zmq_sleep (1)
- may cause failures on slower machines
- to change, modify SETTLE_TIME in testutil.h
- tested down to 1 msec on fast boxes
* ZMQ_REQ_STRICT was negative option (default 1) which goes against
the standard, where defaults are zero. I renamed this to
ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED.
* ZMQ_REQ_REQUEST_IDS felt clumsy and describes the technical solution
rather than the problem/requirement. I changed to ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE
which seems more explicit.
