is_move_bitcopying<T> - Boost.Outcome documentation

# `is_move_bitcopying<T>`

A customisable integral constant type true for `T` types which are move bitcopying safe. As per P1029 move bitcopying, these are types for which:

1. There is an inline, constexpr-available, default constructor.
2. The move constructor has side effects equivalent to `memcpy` of source to destination, followed by a `memcpy` of a default constructed instance to source.
3. That the destruction of a default constructed instance has no visible side effects.

This implies that if you move from a bit copying type, you need not call its destructor, even if that is a virtual destructor.

If you opt your types into this trait, Outcome will track moved-from state and not call the destructor for your type on moved-from instances. Obviously enough this is, in current C++ standards, undefined behaviour. However it very significantly improves the quality of codegen during inlining.

Overridable: By template specialisation into the `trait` namespace.

Default: False. Default specialisations exist for:

- `<boost/outcome/experimental/status_result.hpp>`
  - True for `BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::status_code<DomainType>` if trait `BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::traits::is_move_bitcopying<BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::status_code<DomainType>>::value` is true.
  - True for `BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::errored_status_code<DomainType>` if trait `BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::traits::is_move_bitcopying<BOOST_OUTCOME_SYSTEM_ERROR2_NAMESPACE::errored_status_code<DomainType>>::value` is true.

Namespace: `BOOST_OUTCOME_V2_NAMESPACE::trait`
