| <dt><b><a name="POD">POD</a>:</b> A technical term from the C++ |

| 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).</dt> |
