    WIP: Socket migration between threads, new zmq_close() semantics · 05d90849
    Martin Sustrik authored
    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.
