------- Comment #9 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2010-03-22 16:43 ------- Michael, I'm not sure to follow all the philosophical details of the issue. To be sure: 1- __is_pod implements, to date, the correct C++0x semantics, modulo ISO DRs (probably forthcoming, but a resolution seems quite far) 2- Thus, by definition, __is_pod is the right way to implement std::is_pod. 3- About tr1::is_pod, the issue is a little more muddled, but given my Comment #7, we cannot really do wrong as regards TR1 is concerned (and, frankly I don't care much about TR1). Note that the semantics of tr1::is_pod already changed once, when __is_pod started to be used as an implementation detail.
All in all, if you ask me, until the ISO DR issue is resolved I don't think we should do anything here. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43333
