First example
std::vector<int> return_vector(void)
{
std::vector<int> tmp {
1,2,3,4,5};
return tmp;
}
std::vector<int> &&rval_ref = return_vector();
The first example returns a temporary which is caught by rval_ref
. That temporary will have its life extended beyond the rval_ref
definition and you can use it as if you had caught it by value. This is very similar to the following:
const std::vector<int>& rval_ref = return_vector();
except that in my rewrite you obviously can't use rval_ref in a non-const manner.
Second example
std::vector<int>&& return_vector(void
