I am looking for a concise explanation for this question a while ago. What I found were confusing and didactic texts.

As far as I know there is no clear and universally accepted definition of what this term means.
Some people might say it’s a POD (Plain Old Data) where the data are roughly arranged in a manner compatible with the format adopted by C.
Others may say that they are classes with a very short size and that they can be copied more easily instead of being passed as a reference. OR could still be one that does not have a virtualization table, although less likely.
In certain contexts there may be a specific explanation.

Show the texts that explain the term. Who knows reading them I can produce a text better than you can understand.

This text is an approximate translation of the link I left above: "The most useful area to explore C++ features is type conversion. Prolog variables are dynamically typed and all information is passed on by using the term_t type. In C++, term_t is incorporated into the lightweight Plterm class. Manufacturers and operator definitions provide flexible operations and integration with major C types (char *, wchar_t *, long and double)."
