Do I really need care about this? I really hoped that I can just not bother wrapping things in std::move and let the compiler figure it out?

I.e. if I have

``` std::string a = "hi"; std::string b = "world"; return {a, b}; // std::pair ``` I always assumed the compiler figures out that it can move these things?

If not, why not? My ide tells me I should move, surely the compiler has more context to figure that out?

I think there's a consequence difference between the IDE being sure enough that a std::move is warranted to issue a lint, versus the compiler being 100% provably certain that inserting a move won't cause any issues.

  • Sure, but by the sound of the article, the compiler won't do the right thing?

    Effectively, I'm a c++ novice, should I ever sprinkle move (under the constraints of the article)? Or will the compiler figure it out correctly for me and I can write my code without caring about this.
