# Move Function + "Use After Move" Diagnostic
* Proposal: [SE-0366](0366-move-function.md)
* Authors: [Michael Gottesman](https://github.com/gottesmm), [Andrew Trick](https://github.com/atrick), [Joe Groff](https://github.com/jckarter)
* Review Manager: [Holly Borla](https://github.com/hborla)
* Status: **Active Review (July 25...August 8, 2022)**
* Implementation: Implemented on main as stdlib SPI (`_move` instead of `move`)
* Review: ([pitch](https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-move-function-use-after-move-diagnostic)) ([review](https://forums.swift.org/t/se-0366-move-function-use-after-move-diagnostic/59202))
## Introduction
In this document, we propose adding a new function called `move` to the swift
standard library, which ends the lifetime of a specific local `let`,

move function. This allows for code that relies on **forwarding ownership**
of values for performance or correctness to communicate that requirement to
the compiler and to human readers. As an example:
