PyTorch leverages clang-tidy to auto-add std::move calls

Clang-tidy's performance rule scans PyTorch with just one false positive.

Deep Dive

PyTorch applied clang-tidy's performance-use-std-move rule to add missing std::move calls, with only one false positive in the entire codebase. The PR, submitted by Skylion007, was double-checked with Claude and Codex. The check is very conservative by default.

Key Points
  • PyTorch applied clang-tidy's performance-use-std-move rule to add missing std::move calls across its codebase.
  • Only one false positive was found in the entire scan, verified by Claude and Codex AI.
  • The optimization reduces unnecessary object copies, improving performance in hot paths without introducing bugs.

Why It Matters

Automating C++ performance fixes at scale saves developer time and makes PyTorch faster out of the box.
