[lwip-devel] [patch #8882] Vector improvements

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #8882 (project lwip):

Well, PPP is somewhat a special case in lwIP as it is very much just copied
from pppd and then adpted to lwIP. The core lwIP code tries to not use
structures define by the (network-) standards.

This is probably to prevent confusion when the types are already defined. E.g.
when compiling on windows, you're bound to get compiler errors when including
winsock.h to get struct timeval defined, so you end up with 2 different types
with the same name. That's OK for sockets.h, but not for netconns (at least
that's the way I see it, currently).

Can't we convert from struct iovec to pbuf in sockets.c?
