I've experimentally pulled out the poll() implementation from saned into its own source files for sanei and found something peculiar: With only the code and macros from saned.c (i.e. without <sys/poll.h>), saned.c doesn't compile (there are some POLL* macros missing). So I figure that nobody ever built saned with IPv6 support since that was introduced in 2003 -- does that sound about right? The IPv4-only version (the code previous to when IPv6 support landed) seems to have a bunch of completely different implementations for some functions (i.e. depending on a macro either one or the other function gets used) and I'm slightly concerned that these older codepaths don't get tested. Are there any people around who care for OS/X in the SANE project who could give me a bit more details about how poll() works differently there, and what if any differences are between versions of OS/X?
