Hi, Nishant Mittal
zmq_close() is a asynchronous function, It means zmq_close does not close or 
release resource, but send a message to pipe, when zmq context receive this 
message will release socket resource.
So if your thread is detach thread, the thread data could release before zmq 
release.

I know that zmq_sockets are not thread safe. however, is it an issue if I 
ensure a socket is used ONLY by 1 thread at a time?


the reason is ...
1) my application creates 5 threads, does some calcs and then the threads exit
2) this is done every minute. so every minute 5 new threads are created.
3) I think i will run into a file descriptor issue if i create sockets inside 
the thread (every time the thread is launched). so planning to create 5 sockets 
when my application starts and then use 1 socket from 1 thread.


is this going to be an issue?


thanks
Nishant
