Fixed for GCC 12 by r12-298; there is a testcase already.

$ cat testunion.cpp
// testunion.cpp

static union { struct n { int I2; } S2; }; // Case 1
static union { struct   { int I1; } S1; }; // Case 2

struct foo
{
       union { struct n { int I2; } S2; }; // Case 3
       union { struct   { int I1; } S1; }; // Case 4
};

void func()
{
       union { struct n { int I2; } S2; }; // Case 5
       union { struct   { int I1; } S1; }; // Case 6
}

$ g++ -c -pedantic testunion.cpp
testunion.cpp:8: error: `struct foo::<anonymous union>::n' invalid; an
anonymous
 union can only have non-static data members


g++ reports an error only in Case 3, regardless of the settings of -pedantic or
-pedantic-errors, but as I understand it all six cases violate the C++
standard.  Accordingly, Comeau and xlc++ reject all six cases in strict mode,
and accept them with warnings in relaxed mode.

This behavior is consistent for at least versions 3.4.4 and 3.3.2.

Hmm, I actually want to say that case 2, 4, and 6 are actually valid (But I
have not looked at the standard) as anonymous types are special.

Confirmed. We should at least complain about cases 1, 3, 5. As does,
incidentally, icc with -Xc -ansi.

Would someone mind specifying what section of the standard this violates?  We
have a codebase that makes heavy use of (3).

Section 9.5.  Furthermore, I was basing cases 2, 4, and 6 on the following:
