[zeromq-dev] [PATCH] Add ZMQ_RCVTIMEO/SNDTIMEO sockopt [was: [PATCH] Add ZMQ_TIMEOUT sockopt]

[Fabien Niñoles]

Sorry for the long time before sending back a new patch, but here it
is. The basic changes are I rename ZMQ_TIMEOUT to ZMQ_RCVTIMEO and
ZMQ_SNDTIMEO and I used polling instead of a busy loop in the
mailbox_t::recv method.  Two things I'm not sure:

- I use zmq_poll since it abstracts nicely the different poll
implementation but this is an external API and it is usually bad
practices to do it so.   It's probably far worse to duplicate such
complex piece of code, so I kept it this way unless you tell me
otherwise.

- The windows version of mailbox_t::recv only differ in the error
handling (wsa_assert/SOCKET_ERROR instead of errno_assert/-1) and I
merged them for this reason. Shouldn't we have an abstraction for this
instead of the ugly ZMQ_HAS_WINDOWS #ifdef ?

Thanks,
Fabien
