+
+performance-lost-std-move
+=========================
+
+Warns if copy constructor is used instead of std::move() and suggests a fix.
+It honours cycles, lambdas, and unspecified call order in compound expressions.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ void f(X);
+
+ void g(X x) {
+ f(x); // warning: Could be std::move() [performance-lost-std-move]
+ }
+
+It finds the last local variable usage, and if it is a copy, emits a warning.
+The check is based on pure AST matching and doesn't take into account any data flow information.
+Thus, it doesn't catch assign-after-copy cases.
+Also it doesn't notice variable references "behind the scenes":
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ void f(X);
+
+ void g(X x) {
+ auto &y = x;
+ f(x); // emits a warning...
+ y.f(); // ...but it is still used
+ }
+
+Such rare cases should be silenced using `// NOLINT`.
