How about this?

An empty type is a type where it and all of its subobjects (recursively)
are of class, structure, union, or array type.  An empty type may only
have static member functions, default  constructor, default copy
constructor, default copy assignment operator or default destructor.

No memory slot nor register should be used to pass or return an
object of empty type.
