Some versions of GCC on OS-X complain about CMSG_SPACE not being constant size, which prevents use of { 0 }
io/channel-socket.c: In function 'qio_channel_socket_writev': io/channel-socket.c:497:18: error: variable-sized object may not be initialized char control[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(int) * SOCKET_MAX_FDS)] = { 0 }; The compiler is at fault here, but it is nicer to avoid tickling this compiler bug by using memset instead.
