How to avoid /dev/null at the end of grep-command

[al.coyote@gmail.com]

Hello,

When running M-x grep, emacs adds a /dev/null after the list of files.
That's a secure idea most of the times, but when running complex grep
command, this is annoying. For example something like:

grep -n -A2 my_function  *  |  grep -n '\n'

won't work, as emacs will transform this command as

grep -n -A2 my_function  *  |  grep -n '\n' /dev/null

I can add /dev/stdin to the second grep, but the file name will be
garbaged too.

Setting a default grep command does not solve the problem.

Any solution to avoid the /dev/null, without modifying compile.el ?

Thanks in advance.
