fix: support musl libc target for linux platform #11

loyalpartner · 2025-12-04T08:32:43Z

Use mem::zeroed() to initialize msghdr struct instead of struct literal
syntax, as musl libc has private padding fields (__pad1, __pad2) that
prevent direct construction. Also add type casts for msg_controllen and
cmsg_len to handle the type difference between musl (u32) and glibc
(usize).

target - Replace manual msghdr struct initialization with mem::zeroed() for safety - Fix type conversion for msg_controllen field from usize to libc type - Fix type conversion for cmsg_len field in control count calculation - Apply consistent unsafe zeroed initialization for both send and receive paths
