illegal declaration of anonymous 'struct'

[Miki Peric]

While compiling some sources using VC6, I got this error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\winnt.h(477) : error C2467: illegal
declaration of anonymous 'struct'

This is line of the code:

typedef union _LARGE_INTEGER {
struct {
DWORD LowPart;
LONG HighPart;
};
struct {
DWORD LowPart;
LONG HighPart;
} u;
#endif //MIDL_PASS
LONGLONG QuadPart;
} LARGE_INTEGER;

I belive there is some switch to disable this error?

Anonymous structs are a Microsoft extension which you probably have disabled
using /Za. If memory serves, you set this in the IDE under

Project Settings -> C/C++ ->Custom (in the list box)

It is somewhere around there anyway. There is a checkbox that you need to
either check or uncheck.
