Valgrind disagree with pop_front() on received zmqpp::message

[pavel-orekhov]

When I call pop_front() on message after sock.receive() valgrind starts to worry.
I use 4.2.0+ version at intel64 (ubuntu 17.10)
Please confirm the bug.

I found a sentence:

If you do use zmq_msg_recv(), always release the received message as soon as you're done with it, by calling zmq_msg_close().

Queue to check it with pop_front()

The problem here is a bug in the move assignment operator of the frame class.

frame& frame::operator=(frame&& other)
{
    zmq_msg_init( &_msg );   <-- this line needs to go
    zmq_msg_move( &_msg, &other._msg );
    std::swap( _sent, other._sent );

    return *this;
}

The call to zmq_msg_init() at the beginning clears the zmq_msg_t object without closing it. Since zmq_msg_move() does that closing on the supplied _msg the solution is simple: just remove the zmq_msg_init() line.

Btw, the reason why valgrind is complaining about message::pop_front() is that this method erases the first element of the message from a std::vector<frame>. When doing this the vector needs to move all remaining frames thereby leaking memory for each of them.
