Hi all,
Just to shout out that CZMQ now has a zactor class that does a feeble
imitation of actors. I use threads, so don't start millions of actors.
The zactor class is a lot like the attached threads from zthread_fork,
with a better API. We use zsock so there are no contexts to pass
around. You talk to an actor by sending it messages, rather than via
functions. And zactor_t objects behave like zsock_t objects, you can
pass them to all methods that accept sockets:
zactor_t *actor = zactor_new (echo_actor, "Hello, World");
assert (actor);
zstr_sendx (actor, "ECHO", "This is a string", NULL);
char *string = zstr_recv (actor);
assert (streq (string, "This is a string"));
free (string);
zactor_destroy (&actor);
(from the zactor_test case).
-Pieter
