GCC explicitly reject type definitions since GCC 8 (in C++ mode). I guess the
logic here in GCC may also add a boolean state parameter to parser.
Interestingly, in C++ we treat the first parameter of `__builtin_offsetof` as a
type specifier, rejecting the definition of `struct A`, but not rejecting
nested definition `struct B`

Emm, so, how about switch back to RAIIObject to support diagnosing nested
definitions?
