Looks nice. Any intention to request a review?
Yeah, sorta. I was planning on doing that after I wrote some code that uses it in anger.
Inheritance approach (deriving from moveable) is a good idea, but
Boost.Move code wouldn't be compatible with the standard C++0x syntax.
Is inheritance necessary to get the desired rvalue/lvalue dispatching or
is just a convenience?
IIRC, it's the latter. It's been a while since I worked on this code, though. Oh, the comment says: // CRTP base class for conveniently making movable types. You don't // have to use this to make a type movable (if, for example, you don't // want the MI non-EBO penalty); you just need to provide the // conversion to move_from<Derived> yourself in that case. template <class Derived> struct movable
If you get a compiler with rvalue references (let's hope gcc gets
this soon), and you have a library with Boost.Move it would be nice
just to recompile. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, nice to know you are
working on it.
I haven't been, really. The coding/testing work is done, as far as I'm concerned. It needs docs, of course. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
