Fast and lightweight message queue

voidmq

A message queue foundation. This is a working basic client/server model.

Initial Testing

You can compile the server with: gcc server.c -o server

You can compile the threaded server with: gcc server_pthreads.c -o server_pthreads -lpthread

You can compile the client with: gcc client.c -o client

Invoke the traditional (forked) server with: ./server

Invoke the client in another terminal with: ./client "DATA TO SEND"

You should see the output from the server stating it recieved the payload The server then sends the payload back to the client At which point states it also received it!

Shut down the running server with CTRL+C, and then

Invoke the threaded server with: ./server_pthreads

Now, run the same client command several times Up to 11 to be specific, that is when the thread pool runs out of available threads
