c++11 Return value optimization or move? [duplicate]

by

Use exclusively the first method:

Foo f()
{
  Foo result;
  mangle(result);
  return result;
}

This will already allow the use of the move constructor, if one is available. In fact, a local variable can bind to an rvalue reference in a return statement precisely when copy elision is allowed.

Your second version actively prohibits copy elision. The first version is universally better.
