I'd use this syntax:
zmq_msg_t msg;
zmq_msg_init (&msg, 0); // instead of zmq_msg_init (&msg);
zmq_recvmsg (s, &msg, 0);
It does make receiving a message slightly weird, but it gives a single
'normal' init method, which is worth a lot IMO.
It would be nicer IMO if zmq_recvmsg automatically initialized the
message before reading. It might be necessary to write something like:
zmq_msg_t msg = {0};
zmq_recvmsg (s, &msg, 0);
Anything that reduces the number of calls required, and the potential
for confusion, in the simple/common cases will be a win IMO.
