[zeromq-dev] Making language bindings work with both maint andmaster

[gonzalo diethelm]

My suggestion was to have #define macros to identify the version of 0MQ against which a binding is being compiled. Something like ZMQ_MAJOR, ZMQ_MINOR, etc. Or a single #define ZMQ_VERSION to 20101002 (YYYYMMDD).

Why would this not work with some bindings? Are those not compiled using the C public API?

Hi all,

We have to think of a way to make language bindings work with both maint 
and master.

Obviously, each language binding maintainer could have maint and master 
branch as well, however, maintaining two branches is too big a burden 
for a small project like that.

There's a zmq_version function that returns version number of the 
installed libzmq, however, that won't help much in most cases.

Mikko recently suggested to define a version macro in zmq.h, something like:

#define ZMQ_VERSION 20009

or:

#define ZMQ_VERSION 20100

etc.

That may help with jzmq or rbzmq.

Not so much with cl-zmq, clrzmq.

I have no idea what would help for pyzmq and other bindings.

Thoughts?

Martin
