2. error C2467: illegal declaration of anonymous 'struct'

I'm facing both problem so how can I getover these both problems? 

Solve one of them at a time with or without disabling language extensions.

Do you really need the assembly code in your C++?  Can you not achieve the
same functionality without it?  Can you extract it into a separate module?

If your declaration of an anonymous struct is illegal, wouldn't it be
generally better to get rid of it or make it legal?

All in all, if both errors occur in the same file, you can split the file
and compile one of the resulting units with /Za and the other without it.
If they are already in two different files, what's stopping you from
simply applying /Za to only one of them?
