        <div>
        <pre>Note this is similar to #25084, but I believe it is distinct, since it involves
-Wunused-member-function instead of -Wunneeded-member-function

Take this code for example:


namespace {

class F {
    public:
        explicit F(int x) : x_(x)
        {
        }
        F(const F&) = default;
        F& operator=(const F&) = default;
        F(F&&) = default;
        F& operator=(F&&) = default;

        int get() const { return x_; }

    private:
        int x_;
};

}

int main(void)
{
        F f(123);
        return f.get();
}


Compiling it reveals these warnings:

$ bin/clang --std=c++11 -fsyntax-only -Wunused-member-function
rvalue-moveop-unused.cpp
rvalue-moveop-unused.cpp:10:2: warning: unused member function 'F'
[-Wunused-member-function]
        F(F&&) = default;
        ^
rvalue-moveop-unused.cpp:11:5: warning: unused member function 'operator='
[-Wunused-member-function]
        F& operator=(F&&) = default;
           ^

So it complains about the "=default" move operator/ctor being unused. 
Interestingly, it does not do the same for the "=default" *copy* operator/ctor
even though it's just as unused.

Ultimately this warning isn't very useful, since it's complaining about a
function that isn't actually defined but just indicates that the same copy/move
that the class gets by default can be used.

This is especially annoying when these annotations are added via compiler
macros, since it means you get warnings whenever a class is put into the
anonymous namespace.

I'm far from an expert on clang internals, but I can see that the warning is
generated by lib/Sema/Sema.cpp which does:

  if (!Diags.hasErrorOccurred() && TUKind != TU_Module) {
[...]
      if (const FunctionDecl *FD = dyn_cast<FunctionDecl>(*I)) {
        const FunctionDecl *DiagD;
        if (!FD->hasBody(DiagD))
          DiagD = FD;
        if (DiagD->isDeleted())
          continue; // Deleted functions are supposed to be unused.

So maybe it should also include ->isDeleted() there?  Or maybe ->isTrivial()
too?  But it's not clear to me why this affects move-ctor and not copy-ctor.</pre>
