[zeromq-dev] inproc bind before connect issue

[Pieter Hintjens]

It is not explicitly on the roadmap because most of the work on ZeroMQ
is driven by contributions.

In my experience you can make inproc work very well by doing the bind
and connect in one thread and then sending the socket to the other
thread.  It works in 2.1 because sockets can be moved between threads.
 In cases where you use threads to simulate processes, just use ipc,
and it works like tcp.
