|

‘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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="../P.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../P.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="packet-over-air.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">P </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> packet over air</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
