as far as i know there is no clever way to count braces with regexp. So
you would have to use the indent to identify the correct closing brace.
Say your function is indentend by 4 spaces you could you:
g/\s\{4\}foo.*bar::recv.*{/,/^\s\{4\}}/d
With selects every code block indented by 4 spaces followed by foo*
bar::recv * { until it hits a closing brace indented by 4 spaces. If you
have to apply this change to many files i would suggest sed.
Kind regards
Chris
