Add C++ interface to ZeroMQ.

We've generally passed on header-only C++ projects in the past as our feeling is they are better fits for a language-specific package manager or vendoring in your project.

[jmuncaster]

I am not aware of a comparable C++ specific package alternative. We use homebrew to avoid vendoring and to simplify new project setup. Is there really a difference between a header-only C++ library and a compiled one? Indeed, some capability (template libraries) cannot be distributed in compiled form.

Yes. In this case all Homebrew is really doing for you is moving files into a particular location.

Passing on this for now, sorry. Please consider creating your own tap instead. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip
