I have seen anonymous classes in C++
code on Quora. It\'s successfully compiled and run.
Code here:
#inclu
In C++, an anonymous union is a union of this form:
union { ... } ;
It defines an unnamed object of an unnamed type. Its members are injected in the surrounding scope, so one can refer to them without using an prefix that otherwise would be necessary.
In this sense, no anonymous classes (that are not unions --- in C++ unions are classes) exist.
On the other hand, unnamed classes (including structs and unions) are nothing unusual.
union { ... } x;
class { ... } y;
typedef struct { ... } z;
x
and y
are named object of unnamed types. z
is a typedef-name that is an alias for an unnamed struct. They are not called anonymous because this term is reserved for the above form of a union.
[](){}
Lambdas are unnamed objects of unnamed class types, but they are not called anonymous either.
