then the returned reference can be used after the object it refers to has been
destroyed.
+This issue can be resolved by declaring an overload of the problematic function
+where the ``const &`` parameter is instead declared as ``&&``. The developer has
+to ensure that the implementation of that function does not produce a
+use-after-free, the exact error that this check is warning against.
+Marking such an ``&&`` overload as ``deleted``, will silence the warning as
+well. In the case of different ``const &`` parameters being returned depending
+on the control flow of the function, an overload where all problematic
+``const &`` parameters have been declared as ``&&`` will resolve the issue.
