| May 14, 2012 at 13:32 | comment | added | DeadMG | Ironic that you should mention constructor invocations, because that's exactly where RVO and NRVO come in and the compiler can ellide them. | |
| May 14, 2012 at 13:32 | comment | added | user53019 | As you touched upon, I agree that the key is to avoid the compiler and /or platform specific techniques as those are the techniques that become irrelevant with time. | |
