std::move itself doesn't move ownership, though. It allows the compiler to transfer ownership to the receiver of the value, but it doesn't force it in any way. This is important, because it means YOU may still be the owner of a value even after you called std::move on it.

Not to mention, ownership in C++ is not entirely lost with moves in the traditional sense. For example, your code still has to destruct the object even if you did move it to somewhere else.
