Can we return objects having a deleted/private copy/move constructor by value from a function?

by

Here is how it can work

A f() {
  return { 10 };
}

This works even though A has no working copy or move constructor and no other constructor that could copy or move an A!

To make use of this feature of C++11, the constructor (taking int in this case) has to be non-explicit though.
