One thing I'd like to see here is to take a survey of what `send` and `recv` signatures actually exist in the wild today. We can then remove those `try_compile` runs from CMake's import. Further work would be to have `libcurl` upstream do this survey too (though this is a wider set of platforms than even CMake supports) and remove those which don't actually appear in the wild today. In addition, the attempts can be ordered based on platform and short circuit once one is found since `send` can have only one actual definition. --Ben -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
