The following declaration is valid:
struct {int x;};
There's no tag and no variable.
Does it has any use?
Thanks.

On it's own, it does nothing. Inside another struct or union, its
member(s) can be accessed as if they were members of the parent. eg:
struct {
struct {int x;};
}
foo;
foo. x= 7;
which is easier than:
struct {
struct {int x;} bar;
}
foo;
foo. bar. x= 7;

No, it isn't. It's not a syntax error, but C requires a declaration to
actually declare something.

No, you can't, at least not in standard C. Some compilers may offer
it as an extension. But if you want your code to be portable, you'll
just have to write "foo.bar.x" (or do some ugly macro stuff).

Is it a static semantic error? My compiler doesn't detect it. Is it
broken?
In the Standard I didn't find any restriction.

It's a constraint violation, which requires a diagnostic from any
conforming implementation.

If you asked it to try to conform to the standard, then yes.
In the Standard I didn't find any restriction.
It's in 6.7p2: "A declaration shall declare at least a declarator (other
than the parameters of a function or the members of a structure or union),
a tag, or the members of an enumeration." Your declaration does not
declare any of those.
