I'm quite happy that

currently produces no output, and I'd prefer that it stay that way ;)


That it does, but

[httpd-2.0] $ find . -name '*.c' | xargs egrep '^[ \t]+{'

(note the 'e' on egrep) produces quite a lot of output, much of which is
the kind of thing I'm talking about.

and much of which, it is fair to point out, are structure definitions :)


dang, why does

grep '^{'

work for finding opening braces at the beginning of the line, but

grep '^ +{'

not work for finding opening braces after at least one space?

oh, shoot... + is not handled by default with grep

okay, really shutting up now...
