Detailed Description

Input part of a load-balanced connection.

This part is quite strait forward: it connects via a ZMQ_DEALER socket to a single output and registers itself by sending a defined number of ready messages. For each event message it receives it answers with a ready message. All messages are passed on.

Please note that only event messages (and raw event messages) are answered with a ready message.

ZMQLoadBalancedInput()

ZMQLoadBalancedInput	(	const std::string &	inputAddress,

staticinherited

Check if the given connection as an incoming message (right now, no waiting).

Definition at line 20 of file ZMQConnection.cc.

  return ZMQConnection::poll({{connection, emptyFunction}}, 0);

poll()

bool poll ( const std::map< const ZMQConnection *, ReactorFunction > &  connectionList, int  timeout  )

staticinherited

Poll on the given connections and call the attached function if a messages comes in.

If after timeout milliseconds still no message is received, return anyways. If timeout is 0, do not wait. If timeout is -1, wait infinitely.

Returns true if a message was received on any socket, false otherwise. Attention: in case of an interrupted system call (e.g. because a signal was received) the function might return anyways with a negative result even before the timeout!
