Why not to use options of modern grep? Here is example:
g()
{
/bin/grep "$@" \
--recursive --line-number --color \
--no-messages --binary-files=without-match --devices=skip
--exclude-dir=.svn --exclude-dir=.git
--exclude-from=exclude-patterns.list \
--exclude-dir arch arch/$ARCH
}
PS: fill file exclude-patterns.list with pattern to exclude ( *~,
*.mod.c, *.o.cmd )
or just use grep $PATTERN $DIR -r --include=*.[chS] --color
you can also use variable GREP_OPTIONS
