Forgot to add a detail that may be of interest, however: C++03 *fails* to classify as POD some very common and simple types which are morally PODs: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2172.html Thus let's not assume users to be too good here: sometimes, in generic code, they may end-up calling placement new also for very simple types. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29286
