Then your Cython definition does not match the C definition. Could you
try to fake things in the Cython side like below: ?

cdef extern ... :
    ctypedef struct iovec "struct iovec":
       void *iov_base
       size_t iov_len

If this fails, you will likely have to define like this:

cdef extern ... :
    cdef struct iovec:
       void *iov_base
       size_t iov_len

and always use "struct iovec" as the type, like this:

cdef struct iovec *hdr_names=NULL
hdr_names=<struct iovec*>malloc(total_count * sizeof(struct iovec))


Hope any of all this work. If it does not, come back.
