Re: [Findutils-patches] [PATCH] Include sys/stat.h in files where we use struct stat.

[James Youngman]

So, the patch I applied in the end should address most of your
comments.  The notable exception is the function pointer issue.  We
should resolve that one.   The ChangeLog entry is appended and the
patch is attached.

       * build-aux/src-sniff.py: Detect uses of struct stat where the
       header file was not included.
       * find/find.c: Fix this, and uses of assert without a following
       space (the coding standard requires a space, but there are still
       a number of cases where other functions are called with no
       following space).
       * find/fstype.c: Ditto.
       * find/ftsfind.c: Ditto.
       * find/parser.c: Ditto.
       * find/pred.c: Ditto.
       * find/tree.c: Ditto.
       * find/util.c: Ditto.
       * lib/buildcmd.c: Ditto.
       * lib/buildcmd.h: Ditto.
       * lib/extendbuf.c: Ditto.
       * locate/frcode.c: Ditto.
       * locate/locate.c: Ditto.
       * locate/word_io.c: Ditto.
       * xargs/xargs.c: Ditto.

       * find/tree.c (cost_table_comparison): Avoid < comparison between
       function pointer types.  Instead cast the function pointers to
       (const void*).  Both alternatives are undefined C, but the former
       actually fails to compile on some systems.   This fixes Savannah
       bug #20263.
       * NEWS: mention the fix

       * find/tree.c (calculate_derived_rates): Removed assignment to
       rate variable following an assert(0) call, which had been added to
       silence a "used before initialised" warning, and replace it with a
       call to abort, which (a) correctly halts execution if _NDEBUG is
       defined and (b) more accurately documents what's happening.

       * find/parser.c (get_stat_Ytime): Removed redundant call to abort.

       * find/util.c (debug_stat): For consistency, use assert (0) rather
       than assert (false).
