[zeromq-dev] Is it safe to call zmq_msg_close() twice

[Alexander Hill]

To answer the question in the subject, it is safe to close a closed
message--libzmq will notice that the message object is in an invalid
state and report EFAULT, doing no other work.

Sending a message, however, doesn't leave it in a closed state, but a
freshly-initialized one. Populating a cppzmq zmq::message_t, sending
it, and then letting the dtor run at the end of scope is completely
fine.
