<p>
When move support is available (via rvalue references), Boost.Asio allows
move construction and assignment of sockets, serial ports, POSIX descriptors
and Windows handles.
</p>
<p>
Move support allows you to write code like:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">make_socket</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">io_service</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">i</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
<span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">s</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">i</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="special">...</span>
<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">move</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">s</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>

<p>

</pre>
<p>
A word of warning: There is nothing stopping you from moving these objects
while there are pending asynchronous operations, but it is unlikely to
be a good idea to do so. In particular, composed operations like <a class="link" href="../../reference/async_read.html" title="async_read">async_read()</a> store a reference
to the stream object. Moving during the composed operation means that the
composed operation may attempt to access a moved-from object.
</p>
<p>
Move support is automatically enabled for <code class="literal">g++</code> 4.5 and
later, when the <code class="literal">-std=c++0x</code> or <code class="literal">-std=gnu++0x</code>
compiler options are used. It may be disabled by defining <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_MOVE</span></code>, or explicitly
enabled for other compilers by defining <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASIO_HAS_MOVE</span></code>.
Note that these macros also affect the availability of <a class="link" href="move_handlers.html" title="Movable Handlers">movable
handlers</a>.
