+ A technical term from the C++ standard. Short for "Plain Ol'Data":
+ A POD-struct is an aggregate class that has no non-static data members
+ of type pointer to member, non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of
+ such types) or reference, and has no user-defined copy assign- ment operator
+ and no user-defined destructor. Similarly, a POD-union is an aggregate
+ union that has no non-static data members of type pointer to member,
+ non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference,
+ and has no user-defined copy assignment operator and no user-defined
+ destructor. A POD class is a class that is either a POD-struct or a POD-union.
+ An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no user-declared
+ constructors (12.1), no private or protected non-static data members
+ (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10), and no virtual functions (10.3).
