| [20:01] showstopper | hi |
| [20:01] showstopper | I would like to use 0mq for a little actor-library |
| [20:01] showstopper | I just have a little issue with the offered socket patterns |
| [20:02] showstopper | They all appear to be a little too... "synchronized" |
| [20:02] mikko | are you looking for fire-and-forget kinda solution? |
| [20:02] showstopper | If there's such |
| [20:03] showstopper | otherwise just looking for a hint into the right direction |
| [20:03] showstopper | (problem is the following: send -> recv -> send) |
| [20:03] mikko | you could use pub/sub |
| [20:03] showstopper | (what if i send 2 or 3 messages but just expecting one?) |
| [20:03] showstopper | Yes, but they aren't bi-directional |
| [20:04] showstopper | And i don't want to have 2 connections/sockets per actor |
| [20:04] mikko | you could use two sockets, i suppose |
| [20:05] showstopper | Is that the "official" way? I could imagine that my sort of problem is quite common |
| [20:05] mikko | are there multiple actors? |
| [20:06] showstopper | There will be, yes |
| [20:06] showstopper | I'm currently trying things out with the main + an extra spawned thread |
| [20:06] mikko | if i was implementing it i would probably use REQ/REP |
| [20:06] mikko | and ACK each message |
| [20:07] mikko | if there is nothing to send back just ACK the message |
| [20:07] mikko | otherwise send something back |
| [20:07] mikko | or use multiple sockets |
| [20:07] mikko | but you might have more luck asking later when more people are available |
| [20:08] showstopper | hm, i can't use the ACK because there's no server/client structure |
| [20:08] showstopper | each actor is actually both |
| [20:09] showstopper | I can't get around the two sockets then, i guess |
| [20:09] mikko | what does the library do? |
| [20:11] showstopper | As I said, it's an attempt to implement some sort of actor-model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model) for the ooc-language |
| [20:12] showstopper | At the moment i'm getting myself used to 0mq |
| [20:13] showstopper | I chose 0q because the actors should not just work locally but distributed in the network |
