[zeromq-dev] zdir loads whole heirarchy?

[Tom Quarendon]

Wow, err, OK.
I was just checking that I was understanding this right in the first instance. I'm not sure I'd got as far as working out what the "parent" was for yet. 
Your patch has the effect of meaning that you can only do the "non recursive" behaviour on an absolute path, whereas the "parent" parameter means that the constructor first joins the two paths together? I'm not judging, I'm just trying to check I'm reading the behaviour right. I can do the path concatenation manually first if I need to, albeit slightly less efficiently as it will involve another memory allocation, and actually slightly less cleanly as I then have to free that memory manually as well. I normally work in C++ where those two actions would be separated (the directory constructor and the path concatenation), so I don't know what's normal in C.

Thanks anyway. I will take a look.

OK, I've made a patch that allows this.  See
