GP picked the less useful of the two examples. The other one is a use-after-move, which static analysis won't catch beyond trivial cases where the relevant code is inside function scope.

I also agree with them: I am pro-C++ too, but the current standard is a fucking mess. Go and look at modules if you haven't, for example (don't).

I beg to differ. Humans are fallible. Static analysis of C++ cannot catch all cases and humans will often accept a change that passes the analyses.

Ho ho ho good one.
