@lysdexic I did.

It doesn't look like it, otherwise you'd be aware that the whole point of this submission is that casting return values with std::move disables RVO.

[–] DanielaKEngert@hachyderm.io 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@lysdexic You claimed otherwise:
"
These std::move invocations are harmless, as they only cast objects to their rvalue reference.
"
If you were right, we wouldn't have the motivation to look at this in EWG.

If you were right, we wouldn’t have the motivation to look at this in EWG.

I am right. Not benefiting from RVO does not mean you're harming anyone.

Again, I recommend you read the submission and also the discussion.
