I think these kind of things are more for applications. There, you determine what the regular patterns are, and you write tiny utility functions that wrap these in a single call. But what those typical patterns are depends on the application, so I don't think this belongs in the library. At least not in the C library. Language bindings for languages that work usually on a more abstract level could provide higher level functionality. For instance, for my Go binding, there is no setsockoption or getsockoption. There's a separate function for each option (which also works well with the godoc system), and there are even some more higher level functions. But what type of higher level functionality is required also depends on the language. Czmq has things that make no sense in a Go binding, because Go does things in a different way. -- Peter Kleiweg http://pkleiweg.home.xs4all.nl/ _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
