Socket is the only non-core module (i.e. outside of ext/) which uses
STRUCT_OFFSET. On unixy builds, cpan/ modules get passed a different
set of compiler options than core code (generally less strict compiler
warnings flags). Perhaps there's something similar for Windows builds?
Commit v5.27.5-31-g346712be0b modified core to assume stddef.h and
its features are always available. In particular it made this change to
perl.h:
-#if defined(STANDARD_C) && defined(I_STDDEF) && !defined(PERL_GCC_PEDANTIC)
-# include <stddef.h>
-# define STRUCT_OFFSET(s,m) offsetof(s,m)
-#else
-# define STRUCT_OFFSET(s,m) (Size_t)(&(((s *)0)->m))
-#endif
+#include <stddef.h>
+#define STRUCT_OFFSET(s,m) offsetof(s,m)
Perhaps that chunk should be reverted for now?
