Is zmq4 go library is thread safe #115

Hi @pebbe ,

I want to try the following scenarios:

One thread [go routine] continuously publishing the event.
One thread can terminate the context.

Similar to above, I want to try different scenarios.

Can you please let me know how it is being handled in zmq4 library?
Is this library has thread-safe logic?

zmq is not thread safe. I use different contexts when multithreading is needed and mutex them while switching between them.

zmq4 is as thread safe as ZeroMQ. Context is thread safe. Most sockets are not. There are some newer socket types that are thread safe. Check the documentation for ZeroMQ.
