[type traits] is_pod<T>::value != BOOST_IS_POD(T)

[johan.torp@…]

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.

Forgive me, but where's the bug?

BOOST_IS_POD is an internal helper macro, so as long as boost::is_pod does the correct thing, what's the problem?
