Workshop Interview - Understanding Object Lifetime For Efficient and Safer C++
summary
Hands‑on workshop that teaches the concrete rules and gotchas that change code size, safety, and speed: exact object lifetime semantics, when an rvalue reference still requires std::move and std::forward, how member variable and lambda capture lifetimes behave, and how the C++ memory model interacts with object creation/destruction. Covers RAII, returning and passing values, and practical uses of constexpr and C++23 features to move work to compile time. Claims that correct lifetime discipline often yields simpler, safer code than alternatives.
