[zeromq-dev] lost message due to EINTR

Hi * ! 

I recently switched from ZMQ2 (pretty old) to ZMQ 4 and
since then have some problems in debugging with EINTR. 

Following code:


 do {
 rc = zmsg_send (&zrep, clsocket_);
 if (rc<0) {
 if (errno ==
EINTR || errno == EAGAIN) {
 logWarn("temporary failure in zmq send()
... will be tried again.");
 } else {
 logFatal("hard error in sending
zmq ... manually destroying message ... it will be lost");

zmsg_destroy(&zrep);
 }
 if (zrep) {
 logWarn("sending of reply msg
returned rc("<<rc<<"), zmq_errno("<<zmq_errno()<<")
"<<zmq_strerror(zmq_errno()));
 logWarn("but message is still existent
... retrying");
 } else {
 logError("sending of reply msg returned
rc("<<rc<<"), zmq_errno("<<zmq_errno()<<")
"<<zmq_strerror(zmq_errno()));
 logFatal("message nulled anyway by zmq
... seems lost ...");
 }
 }
 } while (zrep); // repeat until message is
gone

This snippet usualy works, but sometimes I get the warning of
EINTR. No problem, I thought, but despite returning an error (rc==-1,
errno==EINTR) the message pointer is NULLed, so I cannot resend the
message. 

The Logs prove, that indeed the message is NOT sent, and for
resending I'd need a copy ... what am I doing wrong?
