Mainly because it's a bug that gcc 3.2 accepts it without an additional command line switch! Secondly because I agree with Richard Henderson that this is gross. gcc 3.3 (used in SuSE Linux 8.2) gave a warning so I asked on the gcc mailinglist and also filed a bug report: http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=10225 This was closed by Richard Henderson with the following comment: See Synopsis: [3.3/3.4 regression] Unnamed structs aren't handled correctly It was a bug that 3.2 accepted this. For 3.3 and beyond this is accepted with the -fms-extensions switch, but not otherwise. I'll admit the documentation needs clarification, but it's also true that you'll not find this "feature" documented anywhere in the 3.2 tree. In the discussion on the GCC ml rth also wrote this (quoting my mail): Please smack the ntfs folk for me please. This is gross.
