C++ Const Behavior That Surprises Everyone - Jason Turner Workshop #programming #tutorial

A workshop snippet exploring how adding `const` to a return-by-value result suppresses move semantics in C++. When a returned temporary is stored in a `const` variable, the compiler cannot invoke the move assignment operator because `const` prevents the value from being treated as an rvalue, forcing a copy assignment instead. Removing `const` allows the temporary to bind as an rvalue, enabling the move assignment operator as intended.
