I want to be able to do this in visual studio:
struct A
{
int x;
};
struct B
{
int y;
struct A;
};
struct B b;
b.x //...
How can I do this? In gcc you use -fms-extensions to compile it

1This`struct A;` has to be `struct A A;` at least. – Iharob Al Asimi Apr 16 '15 at 19:12

How do you compile it? Or how do you implement that? Probably just me but I'm confused lol. – Bob Apr 16 '15 at 19:26

1MSVS [seems to support it](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z2cx9y4f%28v=vs.120%29.aspx) as an extension. Perhaps, you have to find how to enable extensions in MSVS? Btw, I would use *anonymous structures* from C11 instead of going -fms-extensions. Note that C++ doesn't support anon structs. – P.P Apr 16 '15 at 19:36

There is no such thing as "C/C++". – Lightness Races in Orbit Apr 16 '15 at 19:51
