Have you considered supporting a lockless implementation of message queues for inproc/ipc ? (libatomic_ops).
Yes. I've implemented that for ZeroMQ, but it's not yet implemented in nanomsg. Getting portable MIT-licensed code for atomic CAS would be the first thing to do, I guess.
Sorry for jumping in into the thread half-way, but what is the end goal of the scalability protocol called nanomsg ? To be a scalability protocol in userspace for SMP OS:es, or be a scalability protocol for inter-chip communication ?
Inter-process and in-process are just degenerate cases. The main goal is ranging from inside-datacenter upwards to global.
