Compile error, "storage size of 'st' isn't known, Python 3.11, gcc 12.2.0. about scandir HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks for the report. It looks like in the main scandir code in the CPython repo this is now handled with a preprocessor if/else. See lines 491-501 here:

#ifdef MS_WINDOWS
#  define STAT win32_stat
#  define LSTAT win32_lstat
#  define FSTAT _Py_fstat_noraise
#  define STRUCT_STAT struct _Py_stat_struct
#else
#  define STAT stat
#  define LSTAT lstat
#  define FSTAT fstat
#  define STRUCT_STAT struct stat
#endif

You'd be welcome to submit a PR if you'd like. Seeing scandir is now included in Python 3.x itself, I personally don't have time/motivation to work on this repo much anymore. Either way, I'll leave this open for visibility.

I can see that MS_WINDOWS's _Py_stat_struct definition can be seen from python source code, not 3rdparty modules, so maybe redefining is better

attempted. (our company started Py3 migration this year~~)

@cielavenir, thanks for the PR, and I'll take a look at that separately. However, wouldn't a simpler way to address this in your Python 3 codebase be to just use scandir from the Python 3 stdlib? (It's been in the stdlib since as os.scandir since Python 3.5.)

If you still need Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility, you can do:

try:
    from os import scandir
except ImportError:
    from scandir import scandir   # fallback for Python < 3.5
