LuaZMQ

ZeroMQ binding for Lua

This binding relies on ZeroMQ 4.x.x+ C API! (Currently supports ZeroMQ 4.2 features)

It's divided into low level C++ part and high level Lua part. Therefore there are two files luazmq.dll (luazmq.so) and zmq.lua.

Dependencies

To build and use LuaZMQ successfully you need:

A standards-compliant C++11 complier
Lua 5.1.x or LuaJIT 2.0.x+
CMake 3.1+

This project contains all required library dependencies except Lua library.

Building

cd build
cmake ..
Correct Lua library and includes path if needed
Open project file and compile project using your prefered compiler

Usage

Req part without polling

local zmq = require 'zmq'

local context = assert(zmq.context())
local socket = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REQ))

socket.options.identity = "A client #1"

assert(socket.connect("tcp://localhost:12345"))

assert(socket.send("Test message"))
local result = assert(socket.recvAll())
print('Returned answer: ', result)

socket.diconnect()

Rep part with polling

local zmq = require 'zmq'

local context = assert(zmq.context())
local socket = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REP))

assert(socket.bind("tcp://*:12345"))

local poll = zmq.poll()
	
poll.add(socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
	local result = assert(socket.recvAll())
	local identity = socket.options.identity
	local data = "Hello: "..identity..". This is a reply to: "..result
	socket.send(data)
	print('Received: ', result, 'from: ', identity)
end)

while true do
	poll.start()
end

socket.diconnect()

Rep part with polling

With alternative method of poll initialization

local zmq = require 'zmq'

local context = assert(zmq.context())
local socket = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REP))

assert(socket.bind("tcp://*:12345"))

local poll = zmq.poll {
	{socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
		local result = assert(socket.recvAll())
		local identity = socket.options.identity
		local data = "Hello: "..identity..". This is a reply to: "..result
		socket.send(data)
		print('Received: ', result, 'from: ', identity)
	end},
}

while true do
	poll.start()
end

socket.diconnect()

Req & Rep pair with threads

local req = [[
	local name = "Thread 1"

	local socket,msg = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REQ))
	socket.options.identity = name

	local result, msg = assert(socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:12345"))

	local poll = zmq.poll()

	poll.add(socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
		local result = assert(socket.recvAll())
		if result then
			print(string.format("1 Recieved data: %q", result))
		end
	end)

	socket.send(":)")

	while true do
		poll.start()
	end
	socket.close()
]]

local zmq = require 'zmq'

local context, msg = assert(zmq.context())
local socket,msg = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_ROUTER))
local result, msg = assert(socket.bind("tcp://*:12345"))

local poll = zmq.poll()

poll.add(socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
	local name, _, result = unpack(assert(socket.recvMultipart()))
	print(string.format("0 Recieved data: %q from: %q", result, name))

	local data = "Hello: "..tostring(result)
	socket.sendMultipart({name, '', data})
end)

print("0 Waiting for connections")
local t1 = context.thread(req)
while true do
	poll.start()
end
t1.join()
socket.close()

Inproc communication for threads

local req = [[
	local name = unpack(arg)

	local socket,msg = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REQ))
	local result, msg = assert(socket.connect("inproc://test1"))
	local poll = zmq.poll()
	local running = true

	poll.add(socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
		local result = socket.recvAll()
		if result then
			print(name, string.format("Recieved data: %q", result))
			running = false
		end
	end)

	socket.send("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet")

	while running do
		poll.start()
	end
	socket.close()
]]

local zmq = require 'zmq'
local THREADS = 10

local context, msg = assert(zmq.context())
local socket,msg = assert(context.socket(zmq.ZMQ_REP))
local result, msg = assert(socket.bind("inproc://test1"))

local poll = zmq.poll()

poll.add(socket, zmq.ZMQ_POLLIN, function(socket)
	local result = socket.recvAll()
	if result then
		print(string.format("0 Recieved data: %q", result))
		local data = "Hello: "..result
		socket.send(data)
	end
end)

print("0 Waiting for connections")
local threads = {}
for i=1,THREADS do
	threads[i] = context.thread(req, string.format("%d", i))
end

while true do
	poll.start()
end

for _, thread in ipairs(threads) do
	thread.join()
end

socket.close()

Supervised workers
