[zeromq-dev] MSG_DONTWAIT on AIX/HP-UX

[George Neill]

Hi Tamara,

I hope you don't mind I have started a new thread since we have varied
off of the cmake subject.

Unless I missed it, I believe this is a different path through the
code.  In ysocketpair.hpp, there's a socketpair/recv call, the
MSG_DONTWAIT flag from the recv call is the issue on AIX/HP-UX.  I
believe the socketpair() (r,w) descriptors should become non blocking
as well.  By doing this the MSG_DONTWAIT flag can be removed from the
recv call.

TIA,
George.
