Re: [zeromq-dev] zmq_socket and threads

[Joshua Foster]

The mutex is "required" because it guarantees that it is only used by a single thread at a time. ZMQ has assertions that will cause your application to crash if you access a socket between two threads concurrently. Joshua Nishant Mittal January 2, 2013 6:58 PM Charles.. the most relevant (to my use case) piece there is.. "For those situations where a dedicated socket per thread is infeasible, a socket may be shared if and only if each thread executes a full memory barrier before accessing the socket. Most languages support a Mutex or Spinlock which will execute the full memory barrier on your behalf."  However, I was wondering that given my app logic below, do I need to use mutex etc?.. each thread is completely independent of the other.. no shared objects. thanks NIshant -- Nishant Mittal            Director, Product Development Rosenblatt Securities Inc. 20 Broad Street New York, NY 10005             Direct: 212-607-3159 Mobile: 646-504-2629 _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
