[zeromq-dev] Blocking when receiving multipart messages

[Al Grant]

I'm receiving multipart messages on a SUB socket and I want to make my
code non-blocking. The docs say that a multipart message is delivered
atomically. Can I read that as a guarantee that, if there is a 'more'
indication
after a previous part, a zmq_recv() on the next part will never block but
immediately read the next part?

If I can rely on that guarantee then I only need to use ZMQ_DONTWAIT on
the first part, and once that succeeds I can read the whole multipart
message
atomically without blocking. But that guarantee doesn't seem to be
explicitly
stated in the docs.

Also, the docs for zmq_msg_recv() say:

An application that processes multi-part messages must use the *ZMQ_RCVMORE*
zmq_getsockopt(3) <http://api.zeromq.org/3-3:zmq_getsockopt> option after
calling *zmq_msg_recv()* to determine if there are further parts to receive.

Wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to use zmq_msg_more()?
