That's fascinating.
NVRO being optional annoys me. I'm always debating whether I should
std::movethe return value just in case, but if the compiler performs NVRO (which it probably does), this may be a pessimization right? Ugh.I think you should never
std::movereturn values. Afaik every modern compiler does NRVO and manually moving prevents it. And on the offchance you need to use a compiler that optimizes less, that one copy most likely is the least of the performance concerns.Yeah this is what bothers me.
std::movecould make things worse, but not if the alternative is a copy. But you're probably right that any self-respecting compiler nowadays would do NRVO.
