Specifies that a type is standard layout type. Standard layout types are useful for communicating with code written in other programming languages.

Note, that the standard doesn't define a named requirement or concept with this name. This is a type category defined by the core language. It is included here as concept only for consistency.

Requirements

• All non-static member have the same access control
• Has no virtual functions or virtual base classes
• All non-static members and base classes are themselves standard layout types
• Has no base classes of the same type as the first non-static data member

• Either has no non-static data members in the most derived class and at most one base class with non-static data members
• Or has no base classes with non-static data members at all
