(Ebook) C++ Move Semantics - The Complete Guide by Nicolai M. Josuttis

Move semantics, introduced with C++11, has become a hallmark of modern C++ programming. However, italso complicates the language in many ways. Even after several years of support, experienced programmersstruggle with all the details of move semantics, style guides still recommend different consequences forprogramming even of trivial classes, and we still discuss semantic details in the C++ standards committee.Whenever I have taught what I have learned about C++ move semantics so far, I have said, “Somebodyhas to write a book about all this,” and the usual answer was: “Yes, please do!” So, I finally did.As always when writing a book about C++, I was surprised about the number of aspects to be taught, thesituations to be clarified, and the consequences to be described. It really was time to write a book about allaspects of move semantics, covering all C++ versions from C++11 up to C++20. I learned a lot and I amsure you will too.
