Topic: Is it legal for a POD-struct to have a member with pointer to member function type?

Consider this example:

   class B
   {
   public:
     void foo ();
   };

   struct A
   {
     int i;

     typedef void (B::*pf) ();
     pf m_pf;
   };

Is 'A' a POD-struct?

I cannot find anything in the standard that says that it shouldn't be.

Regards,

Richard

It was a non-POD in c++98, but has been made a POD in C++03. So in C+
+03, you won't find anything that says it's a non-POD :)

Have fun :)
