Why have you declared an enum here? ^ (can't see why this is needed)


So you can record whether this union ...
union {
struct A str_A;
struct B str_B;
} the_struct;

.... is currently supposed to be an A or a B.

};

As far as solutions go, I think we don't know what problem
you're trying to solve, only the C context you're trying
to solve it in. It may make a difference.
