[zeromq-dev] flushing queues

[Matt Weinstein]

Sorry I'm on the road, but a quick (not particularly organized) set of  
thoughts --

Briefly, 0MQ provides an efficient way to move data -- lockless pipes  
and buffer structures -- and a nice interface abstraction.  You are  
likely to get the same guarantees as the underlying machinery that 0MQ  
uses, whether network, process scheduling, or ...

You can't really know you've received the last message unless you read  
something that follows it in order, it's the usual tachyon dilemma :-)

You can do things like close down sockets are threads when you see a  
particular state message, which can provide information "in a  
different way" in the synchronization space, but you're always back to  
managing asynchronous state....

Best,

Matt
