/*
        Mnemonic:       rmr_nng.c
        Abstract:       This is the compile point for the nng version of the rmr
                                library (formarly known as uta, so internal function names
                                are likely still uta_*)

                                With the exception of the symtab portion of the library,
                                RMr is built with a single compile so as to "hide" the
                                internal functions as statics.  Because they interdepend
                                on each other, and CMake has issues with generating two
                                different wormhole objects from a single source, we just
                                pull it all together with a centralised comple using
                                includes.

                                Future:  the API functions at this point can be separated
                                into a common source module.

        Return to sender allows a message to be sent back to the endpoint where it originated.
        The source information in the message is used to select the socket on which to write
        the message rather than using the message type and round-robin selection. This
        should return a message buffer with the state of the send operation set. On success
        (state is RMR_OK, the caller may use the buffer for another receive operation), and on
        error it can be passed back to this function to retry the send if desired. On error,
        errno will liklely have the failure reason set by the nng send processing.
        The following are possible values for the state in the message buffer:

        Message states returned:
                RMR_ERR_BADARG - argument (context or msg) was nil or invalid
                RMR_ERR_NOHDR  - message did not have a header
                RMR_ERR_NOENDPT- an endpoint to send the message to could not be determined
                RMR_ERR_SENDFAILED - send failed; errno has nano error code
                RMR_ERR_RETRY   - the reqest failed but should be retried (EAGAIN)

        A nil message as the return value is rare, and generally indicates some kind of horrible
        failure. The value of errno might give a clue as to what is wrong.

        CAUTION:
                Like send_msg(), this is non-blocking and will return the msg if there is an errror.
                The caller must check for this and handle.

/*
        If multi-threading call is turned on, this invokes that mechanism with the special call
        id of 1 and a max wait of 1 second.  If multi threaded call is not on, then the original
        behavour (described below) is carried out.  This is safe to use when mt is enabled, but
        the user app is invoking rmr_call() from only one thread, and the caller doesn't need 
        a flexible timeout.

        On timeout this function will return a nil pointer. If the original message could not
        be sent without blocking, it will be returned with the RMR_ERR_RETRY set as the status.

        Original behavour:
        Call sends the message based on message routing using the message type, and waits for a
        response message to arrive with the same transaction id that was in the outgoing message.
        If, while wiating for the expected response,  messages are received which do not have the
        desired transaction ID, they are queued. Calls to uta_rcv_msg() will dequeue them in the
        order that they were received.

        Normally, a message struct pointer is returned and msg->state must be checked for RMR_OK
        to ensure that no error was encountered. If the state is UTA_BADARG, then the message
        may be resent (likely the context pointer was nil).  If the message is sent, but no
        response is received, a nil message is returned with errno set to indicate the likley
        issue:
                ETIMEDOUT -- too many messages were queued before reciving the expected response
                ENOBUFS -- the queued message ring is full, messages were dropped
                EINVAL  -- A parameter was not valid
                EAGAIN  -- the underlying message system wsa interrupted or the device was busy;
                                        user should call this function with the message again.
