      </p>
<p>
        POD stands for "Plain old data". Arithmetic types, and enumeration
        types, a pointers and pointer to members are all PODs. Classes and unions
        can also be POD's if they have no non-static data members that are of reference
        or non-POD type, no user defined constructors, no user defined assignment
        operators, no private or protected non-static data members, no virtual functions
        and no base classes. Finally, a cv-qualified POD is still a POD, as is an
        array of PODs.
      </p>
<p>
        <span class="bold"><strong>C++ Standard Reference:</strong></span> 3.9p10 and 9p4 (Note
        that POD's are also aggregates, see 8.5.1).
      </p>
<p>
        <span class="bold"><strong>Compiler Compatibility:</strong></span> If the compiler
        does not support partial-specialization of class templates, then this template
        can not be used with function types.
      </p>
<p>
        Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler, is_pod will never
        report that a class or struct is a POD; this is always safe, if possibly
        sub-optimal. Currently (May 2011) compilers more recent than Visual C++ 8,
        GCC-4.3, Greenhills 6.0, Intel-11.0, and Codegear have the necessary compiler
        <a class="link" href="../intrinsics.html" title="Support for Compiler Intrinsics">intrinsics</a> to ensure that
        this trait "just works". You may also test to see if the necessary
        <a class="link" href="../intrinsics.html" title="Support for Compiler Intrinsics">intrinsics</a> are available
        by checking to see if the macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_IS_POD</span></code>
        is defined.
