Can someone explain the execution order of this code?
struct Foo {
~Foo() {
std::cout << "1";
}
};
int main() {
const Foo& bar = Foo();
const Foo& baz = std::move(Foo());
std::cout << "2";
}
The following code prints 121.
I understand why I get 1 after 2, it's because the lifetime of the object is bound to the code block where it executes and I also know that rvalue can bind to an lvalue const reference, but why destructor of the moved object is called immediately? What's the reason for that? Where exactly is this destructor called?
std::movehas a forwarding reference parametertthat binds to the prvalueFoo(). Then when that function returns, that temporary is destroyed giving us the mentioned output.Essentially the temporary is bound to parameter
tinstead ofbaz
