std:: move_constructible

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <concepts>
template < class T >
concept move_constructible = std:: constructible_from < T, T > && std:: convertible_to < T, T > ;
(since C++20)

The concept move_constructible is satisfied if T is a reference type, or if it is an object type where an object of that type can be constructed from an rvalue of that type in both direct- and copy-initialization contexts, with the usual semantics.

Semantic requirements

If T is an object type, then move_constructible<T> is modeled only if given

  • rv , an rvalue of type T , and
  • u2 , a distinct object of type T equal to rv ,

the following are true:

  • After the definition T u = rv ; , u is equal to u2 ;
  • T(rv) is equal to u2 ; and
  • If T is not const-qualified, then rv 's resulting state (after the definition/expression is evaluated in either bullets above) is valid but unspecified; otherwise, it is unchanged.
