Because of the confusing syntax of forwarding references and rvalue references, it's not clear to me how I would write a function that takes some type, T
, by rvalue reference. That is, while
template <typename T> void foo(T x);
takes x
by value and
template <typename T> void foo(T& x);
by reference, and
template <typename T> void foo(T* x);
by pointer, when we say
template <typename T> void foo(T&& x);
suddenly it's taking x
by forwarding reference not by rvalue reference. What's the Right Way to say foo
takes x
by forwarding reference? Like this?
template <typename T>
void foo(T&& x) {
static_assert(std::is_rvalue_reference_v<T&&>, "x must be an rvalue reference.");
template<class T>
void f(T &&)
requires(!std::is_lvalue_reference_v<T>);
