How can I return an anonymous struct in C?

Question

Trying some code, I realized that the following code compiles:

struct { int x, y; } foo(void) {
}

Here's a way to return anonymous structs in C++14 without any hacks I just discovered.
^{(C++ 11 should be sufficient, I suppose)}
In my case a function intersect() returns std::pair which is not very descriptive so I decided to make a custom type for the result.
I could have made a separate struct but it wasn't worth since I would need it only for this special case; that's why I used an anonymous struct.

auto intersect(...params...) {
    struct
    {
        Point point;
        bool intersects = false;
    } result;

    // do stuff...

    return result;
}

And now, instead of the ugly

if (intersection_result.first) {
    Point p = intersection_result.second

I can use the much better looking:

if (intersection_result.intersects) {
    Point p = intersection_result.point;
