cpp/named req/PODType

Template:cpp/concept/title Template:cpp/concept/navbar Specifies that the type is POD (Plain Old Data) type. This means the type is compatible with the types used in the C programming language, can be manipulated using C library functions: it can be created with std::malloc, it can be copied with std::memmove, etc, and can be exchanged with C libraries directly, in its binary form.

• has no members of reference type
• has no user-defined copy constructor
• has no user-defined destructor

Or an array of such type
