C++ Move Semantics

bookUsing std::move

The utility std::move is an essential tool in modern C++ that enables move semantics. It is a standard library function that casts an lvalue (an object with a name and address) to an rvalue reference. By doing so, it allows move constructors or move assignment operators to be invoked, rather than their copying counterparts. However, it's important to understand that std::move does not move anything by itself—it simply makes it possible for move operations to occur.

Use std::move when you no longer need the original object and want to transfer its resources. Do not use it on objects you intend to use afterward.
