Detailed Description

The ZSocketPair class implements a ZeroMQ PAIR socket for the "exclusive pair" socket pattern.

Restrictions:
Qore::PO_NO_NETWORK
Overview
A socket of type PAIR can only be connected to a single peer at any one time. No message routing or filtering is performed on messages sent over a PAIR socket.

When a PAIR socket enters the mute state due to having reached the high water mark for the connected peer, or if no peer is connected, then any ZSocket::send*() operations on the socket shall block until the peer becomes available for sending; messages are not discarded.

Summary of PAIR characteristics

Note
  • This class is not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; it was created without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause a ZSOCKET-THREAD-ERROR to be thrown.
  • PAIR sockets are designed for inter-thread communication across inproc:// transports and do not implement functionality such as auto-reconnection.
