It seems to me that any article about PODS ought to tell where the idea was first invented and implemented, namely when Lisp was invented in 1964. 198.144.192.45 ( talk) 08:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC) Twitter.Com/CalRobert (Robert Maas)
Bjarne Stroustrup's Technical Report on C++ Performance states that the C++ standard (at "§IS-1.8¶5" but I do not know how to express that in a more understandable manner) describes a POD as being "a data type which is compatible with the equivalent data type in C in layout, initialization, and its ability to be copied with memcpy". This Wikipedia article might be defining a POD type totally incorrectly. Perhaps a distinction should be made between a POD type and a POD structure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tomato ( talk • contribs) 20:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
