Yes, it's about:

struct T {
  T(const T&);
  T(T&&);
};

T
f(const T t)
{
  return t; // uses const T&
  return std::move (t); // also uses const T&
}

I'm fine with dropping the warning in this (IMO fairly obscure) case; I
certainly didn't have this in mind when adding the warning.

So the patch can be simplified to the following:

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?

2019-03-05  Marek Polacek  <polacek@redhat.com>

	PR c++/87378 - bogus -Wredundant-move warning.
	* typeck.c (maybe_warn_pessimizing_move): See if the maybe-rvalue
	overload resolution would actually succeed.

	* g++.dg/cpp0x/Wredundant-move1.C (fn4): Drop dg-warning.
	* g++.dg/cpp0x/Wredundant-move7.C: New test.
