Hello! In my new PR[*], I am ripping out the old checks from configure and cmake that try to figure out what argument and return types recv and send want. The new system instead a) defaults to POSIX and b) offers functypes.h that can provide overrides for system that don't use the POSIX types.
The reason for this is of course that the checks are very brute-force and can end up taking a long time and for all non-cmake/configure builds we already have the types provided anyway. This change removes crufty logic and simplifies the approach. I think it feels cleaner. BUT There is an obvious risk that this change will break the build on systems outside of our autobuilds and CI setups. I don't think we can avoid it, but I still think this is a worthwhile change. Fixing the build will be easy for whoever runs into it and will in a typical case consist of adding lines to functypes.h in the same style as other platforms already have them. (The old check also checks select() types, but since no current code actually use those types the new system does not care about those.) Comment here or in the PR!
