That's what I meant when I said the regexp will almost certainly 
need to be tweaked ;)

For example this new 'tweaked' regexp search string:

  (^[_a-z0-9]+[ &*\t]+[_a-z0-9 &*\t]*[_a-z0-9]+[ \t]*\({0,1}[^\]+.(.*[^;]+)(\n{\n)

will distinguish bettween these two case:

  void myfunc(int aFoo)
  {
  ...
  }
    
  typedef struct c_parser GTY(())
  {
  ...
  } c_parser;

Obviously for each new case some extra tweaking of the repexp 
might be required.

But if you used something like SED you can make the searching a 
hell of a lot smarter.

SED allows you to define rules where by you can take the result 
of one search, run a second test against it and then accept or
reject the result based on the result of this second test.

Using this approach you could define rules to filter out these 
exceptions.
