Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Darwin all declare iovec as void*. So, on Win32 (or any platform without uio.h), this wrong definition leads to portability headaches as we have to explicitly cast to char* because we declared the wrong type on Win32. =( It really should have been void* from the beginning. -- justin
