Mastering C++ Standard Library Features [Video] - Perfect Forwarding

The video tutorial explores forwarding references and std::forward in C++. It begins by explaining the difference between L value and R value references, and how forwarding references behave differently in template argument deduction. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate the concept and discusses the utility of forwarding references in writing generic code. It also covers perfect forwarding and the role of std::forward in optimizing code by conditionally moving or copying values. The video concludes with a look at the inner workings of std::forward and a brief introduction to the next topic: smart pointers.

Describe the 'pass by value move idiom' and its advantages in generic programming.
