The "proper" semantics are that it leaves the object in a valid but unspecified state. So, invariants still hold, you can call functions on it, or assign to it.

Only functions with no preconditions, unless the type makes more guarantees as to the moved-from state.
The guarantees is that a moved-from state is in an otherwise valid state.
So, you can do things like check if a moved from std::vector is empty (often the case in practice), then start appending elements to it.
