I know it's difficult sometimes to explain negative things, but can you indicate why, when one respondent considers wrapping the API with locks is easy enough, you consider simply embedding the locking inside the functions impossible? Of course I'm not even going to look at the code if there's no demand for thread safe sockets. I also asked a question earlier that didn't seem to get answered: what is the attitude introducing a dependence on a foreign library? (Source can be included in zmq without licence issues). In this case, Judy, since that determines the overhead. -- john skaller [email protected] _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
