emplace_* is C++11 - which is rather new, with support on many platforms still lacking.

They started ZeroMQ in 2007 (or even earlier? can't quickly find a reference). So, yes - some of the problems that they faced in ZeroMQ have been addressed years later (although the solution is not yet widely available). I believe this is a point FOR his conclusion that he should have used C, rather than a rebuttal.

Yeah, they're C++11-only. I probably should have mentioned that in my comment, but I didn't because the parent comment was specifically about C++11.

I can completely understand why C++11 is not a usable solution for many people at this point.
