Anonymous structures in StructureUnion

[User_Russian]

Please add аnonymous structures in StructureUnion.
For example, there is a structure LARGE_INTEGER.

Code: Select all

typedef union _LARGE_INTEGER {
  struct {
    DWORD LowPart;
    LONG  HighPart;
  };
  LONGLONG QuadPart;
} LARGE_INTEGER, *PLARGE_INTEGER;

Translated to PB, looks so.

Code: Select all

Structure LARGE_INTEGER
  StructureUnion
    
    Structure
      LowPart.l
      HighPart.l
    EndStructure
    
    QuadPart.q
    
  EndStructureUnion
EndStructure

But PB not support this syntax, and it is necessary to add a new structure, which is inconvenient.

Code: Select all

Structure LARGE_INTEGER_
  LowPart.l
  HighPart.l
EndStructure

Structure LARGE_INTEGER
  StructureUnion
    x.LARGE_INTEGER_
    QuadPart.q
  EndStructureUnion
EndStructure

More would be great if you add bitfields in structures.

I've just encountered this issue, and I can vouch that I was inconvenienced.

So I also vote for this PB enhancement.
