Re: scandir patch

Since the goal was to mimic scandir(3), I double-checked:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int
main ()
{
  int count;
  struct dirent **list;
  count = scandir ("/", &list,
                   ({
                      int filter (const struct dirent *e) { return 0; }
                      filter;
                   }),
                   NULL);
  return count == 0 ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
}

On GNU/Linux, this test succeeds for me, so this change is correct
(yeah I should have checked POSIX instead ;-)).

Makes sense too, since in C ‘struct dirent’ contains just the base name.

Please apply!  :-)

Thanks,
