rusyaev-roman added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/lib/Sema/Scope.cpp:152-154
+  // Consider the variable as NRVO candidate if the return slot is available
+  // for it in the current scope, or if it can be available in outer scopes.
+  NRVO = CanBePutInReturnSlot ? VD : nullptr;
