It seems that C++17 will allow us to write "named constructors" even for
non-moveable types due to guaranteed copy elision, e.g.

struct NonMoveable { /* ... */ };
NonMoveable makeNonMoveable() { /* ... */ }

However, named constructors like this one are still very much second-class
citizens when it comes to the standard library. For example, no amount of
copy elision will ever allow us to do this:

std::make_shared<NonMoveable>(makeNonMoveable())

And even if we had a moveable type, calling make_shared with the result of
a named constructor would still incur the cost of a move construction,
which really shouldn't be necessary.

Is there any way to work around this limitation? Perhaps we could do
something like:

struct Helper
{
    operator NonMoveable() { return makeNonMoveable(); }
};
std::make_shared<NonMoveable>(Helper{});

But this seems arcane, and wouldn't necessarily work as a generic solution
(maybe I'm missing something but I think this must break down
if NonMoveable had a poorly-constrained templated constructor).

In the absence of any better workarounds, perhaps we need an alternative to
make_shared, let's call it make_shared_invoke, which takes a callable as
its first argument and invokes that to create the value:

make_shared_invoke(makeNonMoveable)

This would have additional advantages:
(i) It automatically deduces the type of the shared_ptr.
(ii) It's more general than make_shared. For example, it provides an
obvious way to control whether () or {} initialization is used: just use
make_shared_invoke with a lambda.

Of course, it's not just make_shared. Any other library function which
forwards its arguments to a constructor might have the same issue. How
about:

std::deque<NonMoveable> d;
d.emplace_back_invoke(makeNonMoveable);

Any thoughts on this approach, or better alternatives available?

Why should copy elision change which types you can return from the function?
If the struct is non-moveable and non-copyable you cannot move nor copy its objects,
whether copy elision is performed or not.

Because when elision becomes mandatory, rather than a possible
optimization, nonmoveable types can be
returned.

It's an interesting idea in the wake of guaranteed elision. But I think we
need a bit more user-experience with the idiom before we can start
standardizing it.

This is akin to a solution that I've used over the years in order to
minimize copies/moves and it works very well. Going further, IMO, in an
ideal world any facility in the standard library that does emplacement
should also be able to emplace with the result of a function, but we sort
of missed an easy route forward for that in the standard due to how we
specify emplacement and in-place constructors -- I think that if we wanted
to have a really robust and user-extensible way to do optimal emplacement
in standard-library facilities without introducing additional overloads, we
should have adopted something more similar to the boost in_place_factory
facilities[1] for doing emplacement, only dealing at a more abstract and
formally specified concept-level. Each factory would have an associated
"create" function in addition to or in place of boost's "apply" associated
function. The "create" function would return the constructed object, which
is perfect for use with in-place construction of datamembers from a
constructor in a way that removes the need for copy/move. If we had a
concept like that in the standard and emplacement/in_place-construction
dealt with that concept, it would be trivial to have user-extensible
emplacement that works in a non-intrusive manner with existing containers,
such as a factory that emplaces with a function's result, and it would
isolate handling of std::initializer_list. It also would make it possible
to do things like construct and store an immovable object in a variant,
which is a limitation I'm running into at the moment.

Note that if you replace the function 'create' with a conversion operator,
you get an implicit lazy function call, which is more likely to work with
existing code.
