Right. That would basically mean implementing a spin-lock in the user space. zmq_term thread spins while the socket thread is in a 0MQ call. When socket thread exits the function, the zmq_term thread sets a "terminated" flag and proceeds with flushing the messages from the socket. The question is whether such a spin-lock would be any faster when compared to standard mutex.
