Milestone:  To Be Determined      |   Component:  None          
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0          |    Severity:  Not Applicable

----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 According to boost/type_traits/intrinsics.hpp:
 // BOOST_IS_POD(T) should evaluate to true if T is a POD type

 This is not true for MSVC.


 Excerpted from the __is_pod documentation at
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177194.aspx:


 "Returns true if the type is a class or union with no constructor or
 private or protected non-static members, no base classes, and no virtual
 functions. See the C++ standard, sections 8.5.1/1, 9/4, and 3.9/10 for
 more information on PODs.

 __is_pod will return false on fundamental types."


 Note that is_pod works fine.
