I'm not sure I understand what is being said here.

_ANONYMOUS_STRUCT is defined in windows.h.  It is not defined to a non-zero
value, though.  So, what was the previous code:

#if _ANONYMOUS_STRUCT || defined __cplusplus

attempting?  It seems to me that it never would have been activated for C
programs.  That is the problem I was seeing and that is what I was trying
to fix.

I don't remember why this is conditional anyway.  Is this just to accomodate
older compilers?
