[zeromq-dev] C++ Move Constructor and Assignment Operator

[Richard_Newton at waters.com]

Hi Christoph,

I believe zeromq does this is by design. It copies the data if the message size is small and reference counts it if its above a certain size.

It looks like the size threshold is specified by the max_vsm_size enum in msg.hpp, currently set to 29, so if you make your message size 30 it should
switch to reference counting.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi,

I was using the Cpp ZMQ interface lately and while writing a bunch of unit tests I came accross curious behaviour in the move constructor and
assignment operator of zmq::message_t.

The following tests fail (zmq 3.2.2, latest zmq.hpp from github, MSVC10)


      zmq::message_t m0(10);
      void *adr = m0.data();

      zmq::message_t m1;
      m1 = std::move(m0);

      BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(adr, m1.data());

It might be a semantic error on my side, but I would have thought that an efficient implementation would happly reuse the buffer allocated by m0.
Instead i get a different buffer address. Similarily the move constructor seems to re(a)locate the buffer

      zmq::message_t m0(10);
      void *adr = m0.data();

      zmq::message_t m1(std::move(m0));

      BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(adr, m1.data())

Is this behaviour intended?

Btw. in zmq.hpp std::swap is used in the move assignment operator. This seems to me as both buffers survive (at least temporarily) in a scenario as
described above ( zmq::message_t m1(std::move(m0))). I guess that has something todo with the fact that closing the message is always done in the
destructor.

Best,
Christoph_______________________________________________
