  P.O.D.
   /P.O.D/
  
     [rare; sometimes `POD' without the periods] Acronym for `Piece Of
     Data' or `Plain Old Data' (as opposed to a code section, or a section
     containing mixed code and data). The latter expansion was in use by
     the C++ standards committee, for which it indicated a struct or class
     which only contains data (as in C), distinguished from one which has
  a
     constructor and member functions. There are things which you can do
     with a P.O.D. which you can't with a more general class.
