Hello,
4.1.20 behaves exactly the same, and afaiui find works as documented,
the command is equivalent to
find . -name "*.h" -o -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.tcc" -and -print
("Two expressions in a row are taken to be joined with an
implied "and";). And -a has higher precedence than -o. You need to force
precedence with parentheses:
find . \( -name "*.h" -o -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.tcc" \) -print0 | \
tr '\0' '\n'
