There is a member of stat structure fsid. its declared as
typedef __u_quad_t __fsid_t; /* Type of file system IDs. */
and __u_quad_t is declared as
#ifdef __GNUC__
typedef unsigned long long int __u_quad_t;
typedef long long int __quad_t;
#else
typedef struct
{
long __val[2];
} __quad_t;
typedef struct
{
__u_long __val[2];
} __u_quad_t;
#endif
Now stat uses fsid.__val[0]. so while compiling stat says that fsid.__val[0]
not the member of the structure.
I checked the /usr/include/bits/types.h of GNU/Linux and I saw that fsid is
declared independently as
typedef struct
{
__u_long __val[2];
} __fsid_t;
so I made a similar change in /include/bits/types.h.
Is this ok?
Thanks
