[zeromq-dev] Switched from 2.1.7 to 3.0.0alpha, XREP to XREP now communication Fails

[Rodolfo Narciso Duldulao Jr.]

Sorry, just to clarify, I am now using zmq.ROUTER (from MinRK's advise).

      
  Hi again all,


It seems XREP-XREP sending does not work in inproc sockets for pyzmq 2.1.8 (dev) and zeromq 3.0.1.  The previous tests that I made was using tcp:// which worked as expected, but when I changed into an inproc socket, messages seemed to be dropped.  As usual I reverted back to zeromq2.1.8 just to check amd  inproc XREP-XREP communication worked.

      Problem solved in the dev versions of pyzmq (using zmq.ROUTER) and zeromq3.0 (3.0.1).  


Thanks,
Rodolfo N. Duldulao, Jr.

      Hi,


Thanks for the tip MinRK.   I tried adding zmq.ROUTER and DEALER values  and using them in the socket creation but the sending still does not happen.  I reverted back to zeromq2.1.7 and 2.1.8 (and therefore back to using XREP) just to check and it worked just fine, although the double connect halts the program.  I must be missing something.  I will try to build pyzmq 2.1.8 and see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.



Hi Rodolfo,

  Can you check with 3.0 head (git at github.com:zeromq/zeromq3-0.git) and 
  use ROUTER instead of XREP? There's an unreleased patch there that 
  should make ROUTER fully compatible with 2.x XREP semantics.
  
  I will try this out tomorrow when I resume.  Just a clarification though - in the current python binding (pyzmq), there is no zmq.ROUTER.   
    

pyzmq master has zmq.ROUTER/DEALER.  Note that you can just add constants that pyzmq is missing, by simply adding:


zmq.ROUTER = 11
zmq.DEALER = 12

# these values are specific to zeromq >= 3.0, since ROUTER/DEALER==XREP/XREQ in 2.1.    


at the beginning of your program. As far as pyzmq is concerned, all of the socket types, etc. are just numbers.


pyzmq is all ready to cut a release (I even built an entire 2.1.8 release two weeks ago, before 2.1.8 was demoted to a release candidate), so as soon as zeromq cuts 2.1.9 pyzmq will follow suit.

Please excuse my ignorance also,  but I'm quite new with Git and its lingo :).  I've checked out the current zeromq3 source and I'm getting the following in MSVC++:    




Performing Pre-Build Event...          1 file(s) copied.  Compiling...  zmq.cpp  <path>\zeromq3-0\src\zmq.cpp(595) : error C3861: 'wsa_error_to_errno': identifier not found
