Indeed. In fact, the OP was specifically asking for a use case where he could bind an unspecified number of times to port zero, and get zero results back. :-) > It is bad design process to exaggerate the user's requirements into > absurd extremity and then state there is no simple solution.

Given that an API will stick around for a long time, it is good API design process to extrapolate current and possible future use cases and arrive at the simplest possible API covering all these use cases. -- Martin Lucina <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
