Disabling move constructor

Question

I would like to disable the move constructor in the class. Instead of moving, I would like to base on copy constructor. When I try to write this code:

class Boo
{
public:
    Boo(){}
    Boo(const Boo& boo) {};
    Boo(Boo&& boo) = delete;
};

Boo TakeBoo()
{
    Boo b;
    return b;
}

during compilation I received error:

error C2280: 'Boo::Boo(Boo &&)': attempting to reference a deleted function

How can I disable the move constructor and force copies instead?

Answer 1

Do not create any move constructor:

class Boo
{
public:
    Boo(){}
    Boo(const Boo& boo) {};
};

The move constructor is not automatically generated as long as a user-defined copy constructor is present so the copy constructor is called.
