[zeromq-dev] exception from recv()

[Andrew Hume]

yes, you can get EINTR for a few reasons
and EAGAIN for a host of reasons.
mac os/x is particularly prone to this for some reason.
because of this, i never use a raw recv, i use this wrapper:


int
mrecv(void *sock, zmq_msg_t *msg, int flags)
{
	assert(zmq_msg_init(msg) == 0);
	while(zmq_recv(sock, msg, flags) < 0){
		if(errno == EINTR){
			continue;
		}
		if(errno == EAGAIN){
			if(flags & ZMQ_NOBLOCK)
				return -1;
			continue;
		}
		fprintf(stderr, "error on socket %p; ", sock);
		perror("recv");
		assert(0);
	}
	return 0;
}
