When -fms-extensions is passed, tagged struct/union members without a declarator name are treated as anonymous embedding (Plan 9 C extension). This allows code using the GCC extension where 'struct tag;' inside another struct inlines the tagged struct's fields. The implementation lets the tagged anonymous member fall through to the existing anonymous member handling (the $anon naming + set_anonymous pass), rather than skipping it with 'continue'. Only this one behavior is implemented — no other MSVC or Plan 9 extensions. The internal config field is named allow_anonymous_struct_embedding to be explicit about scope.
