Compiler Error C2626

'identifier': a private or protected data member is not allowed in an anonymous struct or union

A member of an anonymous struct or union must have public access.

The following sample generates C2626:

// C2626.cppintmain() { union { protected:int j; // C2626, j is protectedprivate:int k; // C2626, k is private }; }

To fix this issue, remove any private or protected tags:

// C2626b.cppintmain() { union { public:int i; // OK, i is public }; }
