XSUB "support"
we have some interest in an embedded client which would need to do both DEALER and XSUB (NB @zhivko)
it turns out the dealer socket works just fine with an XSUB publisher, see testxsub.c in https://github.com/mhaberler/libzmtp/commits/xpub
happy to take recommendations what to do with this
I see how I could do a ROUTER pthread for a dealer selftest I do not see how I could do a XPUB pthread - unclear how to manage subscriptions
is it worth writing zmtp_router.c, zmtp_xsub.c classes?
Hi Michael, I think it makes perfect sense to add support for XSUB socket type. is it your idea to contribute patches for this?
fine - it's just that it will be a rather boring copy & paste job on zmtp_dealer.c with renamed methods - plus subscribe/unsubscribe methods
if that is OK I'll do it and give it a stab at selftests
yes, but often that creates an opportunity to refactor existing code base and that usually is rewarding experience
