Perfect forwarding – what’s it all about? [duplicate]

Why is this useful? Well, it means that a function template can pass its arguments through to another function whilst retaining the lvalue/rvalue nature of the function arguments by using std::forward. This is called “perfect forwarding”, avoids excessive copying, and avoids the template author having to write multiple overloads for lvalue and rvalue references.
