Hi,

Do you know that well-known Herb Sutter's assignment operator in most cases does unnecessary copying?

That issue was discussed exhaustively in this thread: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1394489

I suggest looking at posts by Anrdrei Alexandrescu and Howard Hinnant.

Ok. I'm not the one. But now, two years later, who uses this optimization? Almost no one. Nobody know about it. Boost can popularize this old idea, adding it to boost utility library for example? Or C++0x going to have this optimization embedded?
