[Batavia: Immediate]

[ Adopted at 2010-11 Batavia ]

Proposed resolution:

Amend the note in 17.6.3.9 [res.on.arguments] p1 bullet 3.

[ Note: If a program casts an lvalue to an ~~rvalue~~xvalue while passing that lvalue to a library function (e.g. by calling the function with the argument move(x)), the program is effectively asking that function to treat that lvalue as a temporary. The implementation is free to optimize away aliasing checks which might be needed if the argument was anlvalue. — end note]
