Sockets may now be migrated between OS threads; sockets may not be used by more than one thread at any time. To migrate a socket to another thread the caller must ensure that a full memory barrier is called before using the socket from the target thread. The new zmq_close() semantics implement the behaviour discussed at: http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2010-July/004244.html Specifically, zmq_close() is now deterministic and while it still returns immediately, it does not discard any data that may still be queued for sending. Further, zmq_term() will now block until all outstanding data has been sent. TODO: Many bugs have been introduced, needs testing. Further, SO_LINGER or an equivalent mechanism (possibly a configurable timeout to zmq_term()) needs to be implemented.
Welcome ------- The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more. Building and installation ------------------------- See the INSTALL file included with the distribution. Resources --------- Extensive documentation is provided with the distribution. Refer to doc/zmq.html, or "man zmq" after you have installed 0MQ on your system.
