Anonymous structures in gcc-2.95.1 ?

[Michael Vance]

I browsed the archives for information whether support for anonymous
structures had been added to 2.95, but was only able to find posts
that vaguely referred to code being added, dated sometime in
July. That being the case, some VC code I'm porting fails to compile:

class r_c
{
    union {
    unsigned k;
    struct {
            unsigned a	:1;
	        unsigned r  :31;
		};
    };

    bool il;

protected:
    virtual ~r_c () {};

public:
    r_c ();
};

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    return 0;
}

[michael@namaste util]$ make dummy.o
g++ dummy.cpp -c -Wall -I/usr/X11R6/include -I../loki `glib-config
--cflags` -I../render -I../util
dummy.cpp:8: anonymous class type not used to declare any objects
make: *** [dummy.o] Error 1
[michael@namaste util]$ 

Is support for anonymous structs not in place, and if not, should I
expect it anytime soon? I have a patch against egcs-1.1.1 that
implements it (very small), but it doesn't apply cleanly anymore.

Any info appreciated,

m.
