Follow-up Comment #2, bug #60207 (project findutils): Thanks for the report.
Hmm, with '-D tree' we can see that -prune inserts a "[call stat] [need type]". $ find -D tree -name 'a*' -prune -o -print 2>&1 | sed -n '/^Optimized command line/{n; s/ .est success rate [0-9.]*.//g; p}' ( -name a* -a [call stat] [need type] -prune ) -o -print In parser.c, we see that -prune adds it unless -depth is set: if (options.do_dir_first == false) our_pred->need_stat = our_pred->need_type = false; And indeed, adding -depth doesn't yield the extra "[call stat] [need type]". find -D tree -depth -name 'a*' -prune -o -print 2>&1 | sed -n '/^Optimized command line/{n; s/ .est success rate [0-9.]*.//g; p}' ( ( -depth -a -name a* ) -a -prune ) -o -print The condition has been added in commit https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=d62aacb1b The question is why? It seems that this because -prune uses S_ISDIR() stop at the current level ... have to investigate. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60207> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
