hi, I'm doing simple tests on all files in directory. But from some reason, sometimes, they behave wrongly? What's bad with my code?


using namespace std;

int main() { string s = "/home/"; struct dirent * file; DIR * dir = opendir(s.c_str()); while ((file = readdir(dir)) != NULL){ struct stat * file_info = new (struct stat); stat(file->d_name,file_info); if ((file_info->st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR) cout << "dir" << endl; else cout << "other" << endl; } closedir(dir); }
