Neopallium Bindings (latest)
These new Lua bindings add optional support for LuaJIT2's new FFI extension. The bindings will still work with Lua VMs that don't have the FFI extension by falling back to using the standard Lua C API.
Now you can get throughput very close to that of C++ code when running Lua code running under LuaJIT2.
Additional features:
- zmq.poller which wraps zmq_poll().
- zmq.threads which make it easy to create threads from Lua that shared a common 0MQ context.

Download build for Windows
Try the LuaJIT 2.0 + zeromq 2.2.0 on Windows 32bit or 64bit:
https://github.com/downloads/Neopallium/lua-zmq/luajit2_zmq2.2_llthreads.zip
Build and installation
ØMQ iteself has to be installed on the system prior to building the Lua binding:
Using LuaRocks 2.0.4.1:
$ sudo luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq/master/rockspecs/lua-zmq-scm-1.rockspec
For threads support:
$ sudo luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads/master/rockspecs/lua-llthreads-scm-0.rockspec
$ sudo luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq/master/rockspecs/lua-zmq-threads-scm-0.rockspec
With CMake:
$ git clone git://github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq.git
$ cd lua-zmq ; mkdir build ; cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

Alexey Melnichuk bindings
This binding provide C and FFI (pure lua) binding for ZeroMQ >= 3.2.
This bindig does not support ZeroMQ version 2.x.
Additional functions in comparison with lua-zmq:
- provides more extensive interface (send/receive multipart messages, parameters in context/socket constructors)
- simple event loop with time events
- ffi interface is pure Lua
- support zmq_socket_monitor and recv_event functions to monitoring sockets activity

Build and installation
LuaRocks
OMQ iteself has to be installed on the system prior to building the Lua binding:
$ sudo luarocks install lzmq
or
$ sudo luarocks install lzmq-ffi
For threads support you also should install lua-llthreads2 or lua-llthreads library (version > 1.2):
$ sudo luarocks install lua-llthreads2-compat
or
$ sudo luarocks install lua-llthreads2
or
$ sudo luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads/master/rockspecs/lua-llthreads-scm-0.rockspec
LuaDist
$ sudo luadist install lzmq
or
$ sudo luadist install lzmq-ffi
Install lua-llthreads2 library
$ sudo luadist install lua-llthreads2-compat
or
$ sudo luadist install lua-llthreads2
Performance
This is average for 10 runs on LuaJIT 2.0.1.
ZeroMQ 4.0.1.
Intel Core2 6300 1.86 GHz, Windows XP SP3.
For all modules I use MSVC Express 2010.
Inproc Throughput test:
message size: 30 [B]
message count: 10000
C++ code:
mean throughput: 389.0245 [Mb/s]
Using send/recv functions
mean throughput: 310,1113 [Mb/s]
Using send/recv functions (ffi)

FAQ
lua crashes when I use 0MQ?
As lua is designed without multi-thread function, the 'lua' binary is linked without -pthread.
Note this is also needed on Linux (See glibc bug report).
- Download lua source and rebuild it with -pthread
- Modify lua-5.1.4/src/Makefile: LIBS= -lm $(MYLIBS) -pthread
More details: http://kasicass.blog.163.com/blog/static/39561920108475639702/
Another option is to preload libpthread.so when running Lua:
- LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so lua
This could be added to a wrapper bash script.
