383. Is a class with a declared but not defined destructor a POD?Section: Clause 11 [class] Status: CD1 Submitter: Gennaro Prota Date: 18 Sep 2002[Voted into WP at March 2004 meeting.]
The standard (Clause 11 [class] par. 4) says that "A POD-struct is an aggregate class that has no non-static data members of type non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference, and has no user-defined copy assignment operator and no user-defined destructor."
Note that it says 'user-defined', not 'user-declared'. Is it the intent that if e.g. a copy assignment operator is declared but not defined, this does not (per se) prevent the class to be a POD-struct?
Proposed resolution (April 2003):
Replace in Clause 11 [class] paragraph 4
A POD-struct is an aggregate class that has no non-static data members of type non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference, and has no user- defined declared copy assignment operator and no user- defined declared destructor. Similarly, a POD-union is an aggregate union that has no non-static data members of type non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference, and has no user- defined declared copy assignment operator and no user- defined declared destructor.
