I am trying to learn the new features in C++11. And I am testing the following code in XCode.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
class CClass
{
std::string s;
public:
CClass()
{
std::cout<<"Default Constructor"<<std::endl;
}
CClass(const std::string v) :s(v) {
std::cout<<"Constructor"<<std::endl;
}
CClass(const CClass& other): s(other.s) {
std::cout<<"Copy Constructor"<<std::endl;
}
CClass(CClass&& a) noexcept
{
std::cout<<"Move Constructor"<<std::endl;
s = std::move(a.s);
}
CClass& operator = (const CClass& other)noexcept
{
std::cout<<"Copy Assignment"<<std::endl;
if(this != &other)
{
s = other.s;
}
return *this;
}
CClass& operator = (CClass&& other) noexcept
{
std::cout<<"Move Assignment"<<std::endl;
if(this != &other)
{
s = std::move(other.s);
}
return *this;
}
};
int main()
{
std::vector<CClass> v;
CClass x("hello");
//v.push_back(x);
std::cout<<"--------------------"<<std::endl;
v.emplace_back("uiuiu");
std::cout<<"--------------------"<<std::endl;
}
When I uncomment the push back I get the following result:
Constructor
Copy Constructor
--------------------
Constructor
Move Constructor
--------------------
Otherwise, if I comment it, I get:
Constructor
--------------------
Constructor
--------------------
My question is why is the move constructor not being called in second case? It is only being called in the first case when vector is initially not empty.
