I think this makes sense.



================
Comment at: clang/lib/AST/Type.cpp:2495
+      // FIXME: We should merge this definition of triviality into
+      // CXXRecordDecl::isTrivial. Currently it computes the wrong thing.
+      return ClassDecl->hasTrivialDefaultConstructor() &&
----------------
Will you follow-up this change by updating `CXXRecordDecl::isTrivial` as well 
or is that a more difficult issue?
