[Bug libc/252] New: hsearch_data is not usable with sizeof() as

["damien_mattei at yahoo dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

hsearch_data in search.h should be defined as this:

 typedef struct hsearch_data
  {
    struct _ENTRY *table;
    unsigned int size;
    unsigned int filled;
  } hash_table;

in order to be used in a program like that:

struct hsearch_data htab_ports; /* hash table for ports */

memset (&htab_ports, 0, sizeof (hash_table)); /* must be filled with 0 */

i didn't find any other way for gcc to compile my program when using
hsearch_data as actually defined in search.h :

struct hsearch_data
  {
    struct _ENTRY *table;
    unsigned int size;
    unsigned int filled;
  };
