Or am I just being confused by the flipping of zmq_bind and zmq_connect in
the examples?
*// Socket to send messages on*
void *sender = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_PUSH);
zmq_bind (sender, "tcp://*:5557");
*// Socket to send start of batch message on*
void *sink = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_PUSH);
zmq_connect (sink, "tcp://localhost:5558");
Both connect and bind on a ZMQ_PUSH socket?
This is mentioned in the guide:
In theory with ØMQ sockets, it does not matter which end connects, and
which end binds.
With inter-thread sockets I must have the bound socket up before the
connecting client. The missing statement is that only socket can be bound
to an endpoint, whilst multiple sockets can be connected? Can this be made
more obvious in the manpages as it is hidden in the guide.
