So, it’s possible to declalre anonymous class or struct but how to I make it useful?

int main() {
    class{
        int ClassVal;
    };
    struct{
        short StructVal;
    };
    StructVal = 5;   //StructVal is undefined
    ClassVal = 5;    //ClassVal is undefined too?
    return 0;
}

if you put both of them outside of main function they will be inaccessible as well.
I’m asking this only because it’s somehow intersting 🙂

EDIT:
Why union outside of main function (at global scope) must be static declared
for example:

static struct {
    int x;
};
int main() {
   //...
}

    Anonymous classes and structures may be used to directly define a variable:

    int main()
    {
        class
        {
            int ClassVal;
        } classVar;
    
        struct
        {
            short StructVal;
        } structVar;
    
        structVar.StructVal = 5;
        classVar.ClassVal = 5;
    
        return 0;
    }
    

    The above is not very common like that, but very common when used in unions as described by Simon Richter in his answer.
