Yeah, the tests don't actually confirm that the thing was moved. In
particular, you want to check that whenever the source is in big-mode,
the destination points at the same memory that the source used to (well,
assuming that's the behaviour you want, which the naive implementation
will give you IIUC).
There's also a "big mode -> small mode" funny state thing that'll happen
with the naive implementation. I'm not sure it's *wrong*, but...
Given:
SmallVector<int, 1> InBigMode(2);
SmallVector<int, 2> InBigModeToo = std::move(InBigMode);
I think this will pass:
assert(!InBigModeToo.isSmall());
This a new state -- a SmallVector can be in "big" mode with a heap
allocation, even though its capacity would fit in its "small" mode
stack allocation.
While weird, I don't really have a problem with it (but maybe others
do?). Might be worth testing a few operations in this untested state
though.
