/POD/ [rare; sometimes POD without the periods] Acronym for Piece Of Data or
|
|
|
|
|
Plain Old Data (as opposed to a code section, or a section containing mixed
|
|
|
|
|
code and data). The latter expansion was in use by the C++ standards
|
|
|
|
|
committee, for which it indicated a struct or class which only contains data
|
|
|
|
|
(as in C), distinguished from one which has a constructor and member
|
|
|
|
|
functions. There are things which you can do with a P.O.D. which you can't
|
|
|
|
|
with a more general class.
