initializing embedded anonymous struct static members?

[mark fine]

////////////// snippet ////////////////

struct t {
static struct { } a;
};

struct { } t::a;

int main(void)
{
}

////////////// snippet ////////////////

yields:

t.cpp:5: conflicting types for `struct {anonymous} t::a'
t.cpp:2: previous declaration as `struct t::{anonymous} t::a'

anyway around this? or do i have to stop using anonymous structs and
declare the trivial embedded structure?

thanks!

The following works for me:

==============
struct t {
typedef struct {} anon;
static anon a;
};

t::anon t::a;

int main()
{
}
===============
