identifier': a private or protected data member is not allowed in an anonymous struct or union
A member of an anonymous struct or union must have public access.
The following sample generates C2626:
// C2626.cpp
int main() {
union {
protected:
int j; // C2626, j is protected
private:
int k; // C2626, k is private
};
}
To fix this issue, remove any private or protected tags:
// C2626b.cpp
int main() {
union {
public:
int i; // OK, i is public
};
}
