Re: [std-proposals] Relocation in C++

P1029 + operator reloc would not enforce either callee- nor caller-cleanup.
Compilers can still use whatever they use now, and marking constructor
as bitcoping is just an optimization hint for the compiler that the
destruction of moved-from object is no-op.
Of course for callee-cleanup it is much easier to optimize such no-op
moved-from object destructor, but it should be possible for
caller-cleanup scenarios as well (even for cross-TU calls if
interprocedural analysis can verify, that in all possible paths of
execution of callee function the passed-by-value object is relocated
further).

Regards,
Maciej
