[Glsdk-devel] The use of anonymous structures

[H. H. <hen...@gm...>]

Somebody mentioned in the OpenGL forums that we should avoid the use of
anonymous structures. Is this worth the concern?

For example, compare these:

typedef struct GLMmat2f_s {
  union {
    GLfloat m[4];
    struct GLMmat2fdata_s {
      GLfloat m00, m01, m10, m11;
    };
  };
} GLMmat2f;

vs.

typedef struct {
  union {
    GLfloat m[4];
    struct {
      GLfloat m00, m01, m10, m11;
    };
  };
} GLMmat2f;

We need to enclose the mXX variables into a struct in order for the union to
take them as a whole.
