I guess I watched the back to basics c++ series on move semantics and its not really all that bad. I did struggle with it beforehand though. I've never worked in C++ tbh. I does take the 2 hours but you have it when you're done. https://youtu.be/St0MNEU5b0o
Really? You can tell off the top of your head what the difference between an xvalue and a glvalue is? Which function has higher precedence in the overload list out of foo(string&) and foo(string&&)? (Note that's not a const string&!) That these are so obvious to you that there's no chance you would make a mistake about them when you're in a hurry trying to solve an actual problem that has its own complexities rather than playing games with C++'s unnecessary complexity? The one where foo(std::move(x)) doesn't necessarily move x is a particular killer (although at least it only causes a performance problem rather than noticable change in behaviour).
I have worked with C++ for a hell of a lot more than 2 hours since C++11 came out (the first version with move semantics) and worked with many others that have too, and I can tell you that "once you have it you're done" is just not true. I fully understand all the concepts but I can still make mistakes.
Yeah we totally believe you, you just keep on digging your heels in on this one cause that's how you get people to take you seriously and think you're smart.
