I think it should work for GCC 4.2 with -fms-extensions. We used to
set -std=gnu99 for pre 4.6 which effectively enables it the extension.
Can you double-check ?

While I cannot comment if they're OK with the idea, there might be
some confusion on the topic.
There is anonymous and named. I believe developers were against the
latter. Examples form [1]
struct bar { int i; }; // (1) unnamed, but tagged, ie *not* anonymous
struct { int j; }; // (2) unnamed, but anonymous
struct { int k; } baz; // (3) named, but not tagged
Fwiw it would be great to use the more portable solution. Would C11
buy us anything ?
Thanks
