The documentation for boost::is_pod<> says:

Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler, ispod will
never report that a class or struct is a POD; this is always safe, if
possibly sub-optimal. Currently (May 2005) only MWCW 9 and Visual C++ 8
have the necessary compiler-_intrinsics.

Here is the link:

Andy.
