Huh, abc is a struct stat.
I get that it was a bug and needed to be fixed but I wish that everyone
still pretended that it was one namespace, makes code so much easier to
read.
I'm not sure what your design is that you're more than a screen away
from either its declaration, a stat call, or the fact that it's got size
_and_ mode _and_ mtime etc.
And if you do that, why stop there? Why not require the type to be
repeated to dereference any pointer?
while(*x == 0)
is x a pointer to int, to char, to another pointer, etc?
