Move Semantics

Explore the impact of const on move semantics within C++ class members. Understand why move operations on const variables default to copy assignments and the risks involved with using const_cast. This lesson equips you with insights into safe and effective use of const in move semantics.

We'll cover the following...

Silent copy for a move request

As we saw previously, const variables lose their ability to use move semantics. This means that instead, they use copy semantics (=) for all move requests.

Because the variable cannot change, C++ ...
