[zeromq-dev] [PATCH] Maximum message size

[Mikael Helbo Kjær]

Hi

I picked up on a suggestion in another list about the idea of adding maximum message sizes as a parameter to zmq and I whipped up a quick patch that is a First attempt at implementing this. 

My idea for an solution was to add a check to the decoder_t object and adding another socket option for it which was then propagated to the decoder. I haven't done anything on the encoder with regards to handling maximum size yet as I was unsure if that was even an interesting option. I wanted to be liberal in what I could send and conservative in what I would receive. I wanted to send to the list to see if people had opinion if it was a good idea or not (both if it is needed or if it is done in the right place). 

The patch was done against last night's master-branch.

Regards,
Mikael H. Kjaer
