> Unfortunately, in the final draft, [class.pre] grammar makes the name mandatory even though the language you quote remains in the first textual paragraph following the grammar specification! That's pretty strange, considering e.g. this paper for quite some time ago: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0222r0.html http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p022... which is written as if anonymous structs always were a thing. I wonder if there isn't a deep confusion somewhere where "anonymous" and "unnamed" mean different things to different persons.
