I'm Mario Simonetti From Italy (Piombino,Li) , I'm a programmer in 'C' and I know this language quite good.
I wrote many and many 1000's of rows of source in previously versions of Linux, as FEDORA FC2, FC4, FC7 , Debian 4.05 , Ubuntu 9.04 , but I never had this kind of problem. the template: int (*)(const void*,const void*) works very well in all of those distributions. But when I try to compile the same source files with Ubuntu 9.10 , I have always the problem. It doesn't matter if you are compiling a device-driver , or a patch o something else , the problem existes and it isn't still solved. I think that the casting of all our variables to adjust the correct new syntax is not a good idea because '*' and '**' means two different things. (const void*) is a simple pointer to something , but (const struct dirent **) is a pointer of a pointer, so if yow only pass the arguments to the scandir() function and yow don't do anything other , all is okay. If your code does something before passing the arguments to scandir it processes variables in tho different ways (Big Problem). Yow just get a Segmentation-fault of course !!!!! Yow must review enterely the portion of your code keeping in your mind what yow want to do.
