[zeromq-dev] ZProto: why is the codec class get destroyed after each send or receive?

[Pieter Hintjens]

You can of course implement any code you like from the abstract model.
The one we use in C is based on the CZMQ style. I know it's not very
efficient, way too many memory allocations. The idea is, make it work,
then make it better.
