Is there a syntactic issue with a nameless declaration with multiple
abstract declarators like void *, *, **; ? Off the top of my head,
I can't see it.
(Suppose there is an issue; that can simply be disallowed. You can't
use that to write nameless paramters, but if there is just one declarator,
then you can. No need to throw out the concept just because it can't
"do" nameless params.)
Those should be allowed in structures too. It could be useful for padding.
Such a member would be initialized when the struct is initialized.
union { int x; char [256]; }; /* unnamed padding */
There exists an extension for unnamed unions in some compilers.
That works out:
struct { union { int x; int y }; int z };
That union is an unnamed member like char [256];
