py*-grpcio: missing includes for if_nametoindex

Reported by: jmroot (Joshua Root) Owned by: emcrisostomo (Enrico Maria Crisostomo)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)
Port: grpc

Description

On macOS (and also FreeBSD), using if_nametoindex is documented to require these includes:

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/socket.h>
     #include <net/if.h>

But grpc_if_nametoindex_posix.cc only includes net/if.h, and depending on the exact version of your libc headers can fail to compile like this:

In file included from src/core/lib/iomgr/grpc_if_nametoindex_posix.cc:26:
/usr/include/net/if.h:306:19: error: field has incomplete type 'struct sockaddr'
                struct  sockaddr ifru_addr;
                                 ^

Any fix should be sent upstream of course, but I'm not sure if unconditionally adding these extra includes could cause problems on other platforms they support.
