>Description:
The C frontend has the unnamed fields extension to
allow class-like inheritance by putting an unnamed
structure (the base class) as the first field of
another structure (the derivate class).

The C++ frontend does not reject unnamed fields, but
fails to lookup fields contained within the unnamed structure, making this feature useless.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this test case with g++:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
        struct Foo { int a; };
        struct Bar { struct Foo; };
        Bar bar;
        printf("bar.a = %d", bar.a);
        return 0;
}

The reported error is:
 foo.cpp:7: `struct main()::Bar' has no member named `a'
